Which of the following describes the duties of the ACO Disciplinary Review Committee?

• A. None of the above
• B. Affirm, rescind, or modify all appealed decisions concerning administrative fines assessed by the bureau against alarm company operators and their employees.
• C. Affirm, rescind or modify all appealed decisions concerning denial, revocation, or suspension of licenses, and certificates, registrations, or permits issued by the bureau except for denials of suspensions ordered by the director.
• D. Both of the above

Answer: (D)

The function being tested is the scope of the ACO Disciplinary Review Committee’s appellate authority. This committee reviews appeals from two kinds of bureau decisions. First, it can affirm, rescind, or modify administrative fines that the bureau imposes on alarm company operators and their employees. Second, it can affirm, rescind, or modify decisions about licensing actions—denial, revocation, or suspension of licenses, certificates, registrations, or permits—issued by the bureau, with the exception that suspensions ordered by the director are not within the committee’s review. Since both types of appeals fall within the committee’s duties, the description that covers both areas accurately reflects its role.
