During a suspension, performing any act for an alarm company operator is subject to penalties under which provisions?

• A. Penal provisions of Article 3 (section 7592) in addition to any provisions of this chapter
• B. No penalties apply during suspension
• C. Civil penalties only under this chapter
• D. Fines issued by local police department

Answer: (A)

When a license is suspended, any act performed for an alarm company operator is illegal and carries penalties under the Penal Provisions of Article 3, section 7592, in addition to any penalties provided by this chapter. This means you’re facing criminal penalties as well as any administrative or civil consequences the licensing statute imposes. The statute explicitly ensures that these penalties apply concurrently, so the act isn’t just subject to civil sanctions within the chapter but also to the state’s penal provisions.

That’s why this choice is the best: it acknowledges the criminal penalties tied to violating a suspension, alongside the chapter’s own rules. The other options aren’t correct because penalties do apply during suspension (so B is false), penalties aren’t limited to civil ones (so C is false), and penalties aren’t restricted to fines from a local police department (so D is false).
