If a producer fails to file the appointment with the commissioner, which penalty may be imposed?

• A. License revocation.
• B. No penalty.
• C. A fine of $10.
• D. $25 per offense and max $300.

Answer: (D)

Failing to file the producer’s appointment with the commissioner violates a basic licensing requirement that authorizes the producer to represent an insurer. The prescribed remedy is an administrative fine of twenty-five dollars for each offense, with a maximum of three hundred dollars. This means every instance of not filing counts as its own offense, and the total penalty is capped at $300. The penalty structure aims to deter noncompliance without automatically pulling licenses for a single administrative lapse, though more serious or repeated violations could trigger other disciplinary actions.
