If an ACO conducts business as an individual, partnership, or corporation within holding a valid ACO license issued to that same individual, partnership or corporation, what is the fine?

• A. $50
• B. $0
• C. $100
• D. $200

Answer: (C)

In this licensing scenario, the rules assign a fixed civil penalty for that specific situation. If an alarm company operator conducts business under a valid license issued to the same individual, partnership, or corporation, the penalty described for that action is one hundred dollars. This amount is set by the statute for this particular violation, so smaller amounts like fifty dollars or larger ones like two hundred dollars aren’t the correct penalty here, and there is indeed a monetary consequence (not zero). The purpose of this fixed fine is to encourage compliance and provide a clear consequence for the described use of a valid license.
