What type of action can the Director take regarding a funeral director's license?

The Director has the authority to take immediate action, such as suspending a funeral director's license, if the individual is found to be non-compliant with a support order. This is outlined in Washington State's regulations which allow for disciplinary measures to ensure that all licensed professionals adhere to legal obligations, including family support payments. This immediate suspension serves as a protective measure, maintaining the integrity of the profession and ensuring that all licensed funeral directors meet their responsibilities within the community.

Regarding the other choices, the permanent revocation of a license does not typically happen "at any time" without due process—there are specific procedures that must be followed for serious violations. License renewal intervals generally do not reflect such a lengthy duration as five years; they are often more frequent to ensure ongoing compliance with regulations and standards. Additionally, licenses cannot be simply transferred to another individual, as they are issued based on individual qualifications and responsibilities, making personal accountability crucial in maintaining professional standards within the funeral service industry.
