Building Code Administrators and Inspectors Florida Principle and Practice Licensure Practice Exam

Which entity has the ability to suspend or revoke the authority of a self-insurer?

1. A deputy commissioner

2. A circuit court

3. The division

4. Employers' association

The correct answer is: The division

The correct answer is the division, as it refers to a specific regulatory body responsible for overseeing self-insurers within the context of workers’ compensation and other related insurance matters. This division has the authority to enforce compliance with established laws and regulations, ensuring that self-insured entities meet necessary standards and obligations. If a self-insurer fails to comply or presents issues that could jeopardize the financial stability of the self-insurance program, the division has the power to suspend or revoke its authority. This oversight is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the self-insurance system and protecting the interests of injured workers. In contrast, while a deputy commissioner or a circuit court may have roles in related legal processes, they do not typically hold the direct authority to suspend or revoke a self-insurer's license. Similarly, an employers' association may advocate for the interests of its members but would not possess regulatory power over self-insurers. The division’s specific function and regulatory authority make it the correct entity that oversees the operation and compliance of self-insurers.
