The state fire marshal may suspend, revoke, or refuse to issue or renew registration certificate or license after notice and hearing if the applicant, registrant, or license holder has engaged in acts that include which of the following?

• A. All of the above
• B. Violates this chapter
• C. Violate rules or standards adopted under this chapter
• D. Misrepresentation made in connection with the sale of products or service rendered

Answer: (A)

The state may take disciplinary action when an applicant, registrant, or license holder engages in acts that violate the governing rules and processes. Specifically, acts such as violating the chapter itself, violating rules or standards adopted under that chapter, or making misrepresentations in connection with selling products or services are all legitimate grounds for suspension, revocation, or a refused renewal after notice and a hearing. Because each of these actions constitutes a disqualifying conduct under the same regulatory framework, the option that includes all of them is the best answer. For example, if someone sells fire protection services based on false claims, or operates in violation of the chapter, or fails to follow adopted rules, these are each grounds for action. The combined choice captures every scenario described, which is why it is correct.
