Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why C is correct
ORC 3901.22(D) equips the superintendent's cease-and-desist order with administrative remedies that include license suspension or revocation, employment bans, restitution with statutory interest, and a required payment to the Department's operating fund of up to $100,000, reflecting one-half of expert expenses. The order is therefore a complete remedial package, not merely a demand to stop.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) $25,000 is the per-violation administrative penalty under ORC 3905.14(E)(1), a separate sanction from the operating-fund payment.
- B) $10,000 is the court penalty per violation of a cease-and-desist order under ORC 3901.22(F)(2).
- D) $500,000 is a guaranty-association coverage limit, unrelated to ORC 3901.22(D) remedial orders.
Memory hook
The operating fund tops out at $100,000.
