Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
ORC 3905.14(D) requires notice and an opportunity for a hearing before denial, revocation, or suspension of a license, and those proceedings are governed by ORC Chapter 119, Ohio's administrative procedure framework, applied through ORC 3901.22. The producer is entitled to notice of the allegations and a hearing before the superintendent acts on the license.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) Common-pleas jury-trial procedure does not govern; this is an agency proceeding under ORC Chapter 119.
- C) Federal administrative procedure rules do not supply the process here; Ohio's own Chapter 119 does.
- D) The insurer's internal procedures are irrelevant; the superintendent's disciplinary process is a matter of state statute.
Memory hook
Agency discipline runs on Chapter 119.
