Why A is correct

Under O.C.G.A. § 33-6-9, a violation established after notice and hearing can draw a penalty of up to $10,000 for each act or violation, and the Commissioner may also suspend or revoke the violator's license. Because the fine is assessed per act, repeated violations multiply the exposure.

Why the other options are wrong

  • B) The statutory maximum is $10,000 per act or violation, and suspension or revocation of the license remains available.
  • C) The penalty is measured per act or violation, not per day, and $100 is not the figure.
  • D) There is no single per-proceeding cap of $300,000; the per-act structure of O.C.G.A. § 33-6-9 governs.
