If any statement on the affidavit is found to be false, what may the commissioner do?

• A. Deny the new appointment
• B. Revoke the license
• C. Impose a fine
• D. Require remedial training

Answer: (A)

When someone signs an affidavit, the information there is part of the application process, and honesty is essential. If any statement on that affidavit is false, the applicant has provided fraudulent or misrepresented information. Because of that, the commissioner has the authority to deny the new appointment to protect the public and maintain the integrity of the appointment process.

Other actions like revoking a license, imposing a fine, or requiring remedial training are typically remedies for issues after a license is granted or in response to conduct beyond the initial application. Since the question concerns a false statement on the filing for a new appointment, denying the appointment is the most appropriate and direct response.
