Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why D is correct
C.R.S. § 10-3-903 is the Colorado provision addressing unauthorized entities — persons or organizations transacting insurance without the required license or approval fall under the unauthorized-entity provisions of article 3 of title 10. The unfair-competition and commission provisions govern different conduct and do not supply the licensing prohibition itself.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) C.R.S. § 10-3-1104 defines unfair methods of competition and deceptive acts, such as misrepresentation and rebating, not the prohibition on transacting insurance without a license.
- B) C.R.S. § 10-2-702 regulates payment of commissions and fees, which presupposes a licensed producer rather than addressing unauthorized transacting.
- C) C.R.S. § 10-1-108 concerns the Commissioner's handling of complaints, not the prohibition on unlicensed insurance transactions.
Memory hook
No license, no business: 10-3-903 shuts the door.
