What is the penalty for misappropriation of premiums less than $150?

  1. Class A Felony

  2. Class B Misdemeanor

  3. Class A Misdemeanor

  4. No penalty

The correct answer is: Class A Misdemeanor

The penalty for misappropriation of premiums less than $150 is classified as a Class A Misdemeanor. This classification indicates that the offense is treated seriously but is not as severe as a felony. Under Illinois law, a Class A Misdemeanor can result in penalties that may include up to one year in jail and/or a fine of up to $2,500. This reflects the legal system's intention to deter such misconduct in the insurance sector, holding individuals accountable for misappropriating funds that are rightfully owed to insurance companies. Understanding this helps to emphasize the importance of ethical conduct in handling premiums and the potential legal consequences that can arise from violations.
