Question

The Secretary of State must review a complaint filed against a notary, and if there are

reasonable grounds to believe a violation has occurred the matter is referred to a
special agent for investigation. Following the investigation, the Secretary of State
must:
A) Suspend the notary.
B) Place a red check by the notary’s name in the searches database.
C) The agent will submit a report.
D) All the above.
E) None of the above.

Answer 1

D) All the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a complaint is filed against a notary, the SOS is responsible for reviewing the complaint and forwarding it to a special agent for further investigation if there are reasonable reasons to suspect a violation has occurred.

After an investigation, the SOS may punish the notary in a number of ways, such as suspending their commission, putting a red "X" next to their name in the database, or even taking away their commission. So it follows that everything said above is true.
