    The state insurance commissioner must pass a special administrative rule permanently expunging the felony from federal records.
  2. B
    The brokerage firm must pay a federal penalty fee into the state Guaranty Association fund to protect against insolvency.

Cevap

Marcus must obtain written consent from an authorized state insurance regulatory official permitting him to engage in the business of insurance.
The correct answer accurately reflects the statutory exception found in 18 U.S.C. 1033. The law permanently bars individuals convicted of felonies involving dishonesty or a breach of trust from participating in the insurance industry unless they secure specific written consent from a state insurance commissioner or equivalent regulator. There are no automatic time expirations for this restriction.
