If a licensee fails to carry out actions required under sanctions, what action can the Commissioner take?

• A. Revoke the license or certificate of authority
• B. Issue a new license
• C. Provide a tax credit
• D. Award a stipend to the licensee’s company

Answer: (A)

Enforcement power and compliance with sanctions. When the Commissioner imposes sanctions, the licensee must follow through with what is ordered. If they don’t carry out those required actions, the Commissioner can revoke the license or certificate of authority. This creates a strong consequence to ensure accountability and protect the public. Other choices don’t fit because issuing a new license isn’t a punishment for noncompliance, and tax credits or stipends have no place in regulatory enforcement of insurance licenses.
