Cevap
The actions that justify license suspension or revocation are misappropriating premium payments by depositing them into an operating account, and failing to comply with a child support order.
License discipline is strictly enforced for breaches of fiduciary duty, such as commingling premium funds with agency operating funds, and for failures to meet specific legal obligations, including court-ordered child support. Both of these actions are explicitly listed in standard state insurance codes as grounds for mandatory or discretionary license suspension and revocation.
