Who determines the place for hearings on Deny, Censure, Suspend, Revoke, Refuse?

• A. The District Court
• B. The Bondsman's attorney
• C. The Governor
• D. The Insurance Commissioner

Answer: (D)

In this kind of regulatory discipline, the place for the hearing is set by the agency that regulates the license—the Insurance Commissioner. The Commissioner has the authority to oversee bail bonds and related insurance activities, and the hearing for actions like Deny, Censure, Suspend, Revoke, or Refuse is conducted as an administrative proceeding under the Commissioner’s rules. The actual hearing may be held at the Commissioner's office or at another venue designated by the agency, but the key point is that the decision-maker and venue are determined by the Commissioner, not by the district court, the bondsman’s attorney, or the Governor. Judicial review, if pursued, would occur in district court after the decision, rather than the initial hearing setting the venue.
