What does the term "withdrawn under investigation" signify in licensing terms?

The term "withdrawn under investigation" signifies that a license has been put on hold while an investigation is taking place. Specifically, this means that the holder has chosen not to renew their license during the investigation period. This action typically indicates that there may be potential issues or concerns regarding the licensee's conduct or compliance with regulations that warrant closer examination.

In the context of licensing, this term implies that the individual or entity is proactively stepping back to allow for the investigation to process without the complications of an active license. This does not equate to a permanent revocation or a temporary suspension, as those terms imply different statuses of disciplinary actions and consequences. Additionally, it does not indicate successful completion of an investigation, as that would suggest a different outcome accompanied by a resolution of any potential issues. Thus, the option indicating that the holder will not renew while under investigation accurately captures the essence of the term in question.
