Upon cancellation of insurance, insurance carriers shall notify which entity?

• A. Insurance commissioner
• B. County board of health
• C. City clerk
• D. Department

Answer: (B)

When insurance coverage that a contractor must maintain is canceled, the responsible action is to alert the local health authority. The county board of health is the body that oversees licensing, permits, and public-health compliance for trades like plumbing in many counties. By notifying them, the board can keep licensing records accurate and take any needed steps to ensure the contractor remains in good standing or to suspend license status if coverage is no longer in place. This protects the public by ensuring that work is performed by someone who meets required insurance safeguards.

The other entities aren’t the usual recipients for this kind of notice. The insurance commissioner regulates insurers, not license enforcement for individual trades. A city clerk handles municipal records and routine administration, not insurance-status enforcement for plumbers. A generic “department” is too vague to indicate the proper enforcement channel.
