If the State Corporation Commission believes an agent is untrustworthy, which action can it NOT perform?

The State Corporation Commission (SCC) in Virginia is responsible for regulating insurance agents and ensuring that they adhere to the laws and regulations governing the insurance industry. If the SCC determines that an agent is untrustworthy, its available actions include suspending the agent's license, requiring additional training, or imposing fines. These measures are designed to protect the public and maintain the integrity of the insurance market.

Incarceration, however, is not within the SCC's authority. The power to imprison individuals is reserved for the criminal justice system and requires due process through courts of law. The SCC can investigate and penalize agents regarding their licensing and conduct, but it cannot carry out criminal sentences, such as incarceration. The role of the SCC is regulatory rather than punitive in a criminal sense, which clarifies why it cannot perform the action of incarcerating an agent.
