Why C is correct
Under O.C.G.A. § 33-6-6, the Commissioner must give notice of and conduct a hearing before entering orders affecting a person's license or activities in response to alleged violations. The producer is entitled to appear, be heard, and present evidence before any adverse action takes effect.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) The hearing precedes the adverse order; the process under O.C.G.A. § 33-6-6 does not allow suspension first and hearing later.
- B) The insurer's consent plays no role in the Commissioner's disciplinary process.
- D) Pre-hearing publication is not a statutory prerequisite; notice goes to the affected person, not the public.
