1.Colorado's producer licensing law defines a "catastrophic disaster" as an event involving mass casualties or widespread destruction. Whose declaration does that definition require for an event to qualify?
Answer: C. The President of the United States, the governor, or both
The definition in Colo. Rev. Stat. Sec. 10-2-103(1) describes a catastrophic disaster as an event declared by the President of the United States or the governor, or both, that produces the kinds of harm the definition lists. The commissioner of insurance, the NAIC, and county commissioners are not named as declaring authorities in that definition.

2.A resident applicant for a Colorado producer license declares that the statements in the application are "true, correct, and complete." According to the application statute, under what stated consequence is that declaration made?
Answer: B. Refusal of the license, or its later suspension or revocation
Colo. Rev. Stat. Sec. 10-2-404(1) has the resident applicant make this declaration under penalty of refusal, suspension, or revocation of the license. The provision names those license consequences; it does not name criminal prosecution, forfeiture of commissions, or a permanent bar on reapplying.

3.A fire department investigator collected evidence about a suspicious fire loss and shared it under Colorado's Fraudulent Claims and Arson Information Reporting Act. A civil lawsuit later names the insurer at interest as a party. Under the act, can the investigator be required to testify in that lawsuit?
Answer: A. Yes, the investigator may be compelled to testify in that lawsuit
Under the act, an authorized agency and its agents or employees can be compelled to give testimony in a civil or criminal case where the insurer at interest is a named party. A fire department is an authorized agency, its investigator acts for it, and the lawsuit names the insurer at interest, so the investigator can be required to testify. The provision covers civil as well as criminal proceedings and does not condition testimony on the insured's consent.

4.A Colorado insurer that sells personal lines property and casualty insurance is designing the insurance score it will use. Which input is it prohibited from using in calculating the score?
Answer: B. The consumer's residential United States postal zip code
Colo. Rev. Stat. Sec. 10-4-116(1)(a) bars a personal lines property and casualty insurer from using an insurance score calculated with any of these consumer characteristics: income, gender, marital status, religion, nationality, ethnic group, address and United States postal zip code. A zip code is on that list. Late payments, the number of open revolving accounts and the age of the credit file are credit items, and none of them appears among the characteristics the paragraph forbids.

5.Under Colorado's Fraudulent Claims and Arson Information Reporting Act, a person who violates any provision of that part of the insurance code commits which grade of offense?
Answer: D. A class 2 misdemeanor
Colo. Rev. Stat. Sec. 10-4-1007 makes any violation of part 10 a class 2 misdemeanor, punished as provided in section 18-1.3-501. The other choices name a different misdemeanor class or a felony grade, and the statute names neither.

6.A lender requires a homebuyer to insure the home as security for a real estate loan. The lender then directs the buyer to pay the lender a separate charge for handling that insurance policy. Under Colorado law, which statement is correct?
Answer: D. The charge is prohibited, but premium loan interest under the security instrument is not
Colorado bars anyone from requiring a borrower, mortgagor, purchaser, insurer, broker or agent to pay a separate charge for handling an insurance policy required as security for a real estate loan, or a separate charge to substitute one insurer's policy for another. The paragraph's only stated exception is interest on premium loans or premium advancements charged as the security instrument allows. Written disclosure is not an exception, the bar is not limited to substitutions, and the fact that the lender required the policy is the very situation the paragraph addresses.

7.A borrower gives a lender a property policy from an insurer of the borrower's choosing to protect the property securing a loan. Under Colorado law, a lender's disapproval of that policy is treated as reasonable only when it rests on which of the following?
Answer: D. Reasonable standards, uniformly applied, on coverage, financial soundness and service
Colorado bars a creditor or lessor from unreasonably disapproving the policy a borrower or lessee provides to protect the property securing the credit. Disapproval is deemed unreasonable unless it rests solely on reasonable standards that are applied uniformly and that relate to the extent of coverage required and the insurer's financial soundness and services. A business relationship with a preferred insurer, a premium comparison, or a stated reason outside those standards does not meet that test.

8.Colorado's rate regulation statute sets out three basic standards that every rate subject to it must satisfy. Which choice correctly states those three standards?
Answer: B. Rates may not be excessive, may not be inadequate, and may not be unfairly discriminatory among insureds.
Colorado Revised Statutes Sec. 10-4-403(1) states the three rate standards: a rate may not be excessive, may not be inadequate, and may not be unfairly discriminatory. The choices requiring identical or uniform rates are wrong because the same subsection says a rate is not unfairly discriminatory merely because policyholders with different loss exposures or different expenses pay different premiums, so long as the rate reflects those differences with reasonable accuracy. Prior approval, annual refiling, a guaranteed profit and rate setting by a rating organization are not among the standards subsection (1) lists.

9.Colorado's unfair practices law (part 11 of article 3 of Title 10) gives the commissioner enforcement powers over unfair or deceptive practices. How do those powers relate to other penalty and forfeiture powers the law provides for the same practices?
Answer: C. They are in addition to the other enforcement powers the law provides
Colo. Rev. Stat. Sec. 10-3-1111 states that the powers part 11 gives the commissioner are additional to any other powers to enforce monetary or other penalties or forfeitures authorized by law for the methods, acts and practices part 11 declares unfair or deceptive. Because the section makes them additional, they sit alongside the other powers: they do not replace them, they are not limited to practices no other law penalizes, and they do not wait until other penalties have been pursued.

10.Colorado's rate regulation law (part 4 of article 4 of Title 10) charges the commissioner of insurance and the division with carrying it out. According to its stated purpose, insurance rates are regulated so that they meet which standard?
Answer: C. Rates may not be excessive, inadequate, or unfairly discriminatory
Colo. Rev. Stat. Sec. 10-4-401(1) charges the division of insurance and the commissioner with executing part 4 and states its purpose: to promote the public welfare by regulating rates so that they are not excessive, inadequate, or unfairly discriminatory. The same clause aims to prohibit price-fixing agreements and other anticompetitive conduct by insurers and to promote price competition among them, so rates fixed by agreement through a bureau run against it. The clause does not call for identical rates across insurers or for one commissioner-set rate for all insurers; it speaks instead of rates responsive to competitive market conditions.
