Why B is correct
TIC 4005.101-.102 distinguish suspension from revocation by duration and finality: a suspension removes the agent's authority for a stated period and the license can be reinstated once the period and any conditions are satisfied, while a revocation ends the license. Both are imposed by the Commissioner, and both require notice and an opportunity for a hearing before they take effect; an agent who keeps soliciting during a suspension commits a further violation.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Both sanctions attach to the license itself, not to continuing education credit.
- C) The durations are reversed; revocation is the permanent sanction and suspension is temporary.
- D) Insurers appoint and terminate appointments; only the Commissioner may suspend or revoke a license.
Memory hook
Suspension is a time out; revocation means the license is gone.
