Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
The Colorado unauthorized-entity provisions, including C.R.S. § 10-3-903 and the related sections cited through C.R.S. § 10-3-908, empower the Colorado Division of Insurance to police and enforce the ban on transacting insurance without a certificate of authority. The point of the framework is to stop unauthorized business before Colorado policyholders are exposed to an unsupervised carrier.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) The prohibition applies from the first act of transacting insurance, not only when a claim is denied.
- C) Written client consent cannot authorize sales by an entity that lacks a certificate of authority.
- D) The restrictions turn on the absence of Colorado authority, not on where the insurer's home office is located.
Memory hook
The Division polices unauthorized carriers up front, not after the denial.
