Under O.C.G.A. § 33-23-21, which of the following is a permissible statutory ground for the OCISF Commissioner to deny, suspend, or revoke a Georgia producer's license?

AFailing to vote in the most recent statewide election
Having violated Title 33, such as by an unfair trade practice
CRefusing to make political contributions to the Commissioner's campaign
DMaintaining a personal residence outside Georgia's coastal counties

Why this is the answer

O.C.G.A. § 33-23-21 enumerates the grounds on which the Commissioner may deny, place on probation, suspend, revoke, or refuse to renew a producer's license. The list includes violating any provision of Title 33 or other insurance law, misrepresenting or concealing material facts on an application, obtaining a license by fraud, misappropriating or illegally withholding money, committing fraudulent or dishonest practices, materially misrepresenting policy terms, and being convicted of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude. An unfair trade practice under Chapter 6 of Title 33 is reached through the first of these grounds, violating Title 33. Disciplinary actions follow Administrative Procedure Act hearing procedures.
