It is a ________ to fail or refuse to surrender a license to the issuing authorities upon lawful demand.

  1. Felony

  2. Misdemeanor

  3. Citation

  4. Penalty

The correct answer is: Misdemeanor

Failing or refusing to surrender a license to the issuing authorities upon lawful demand constitutes a misdemeanor because it represents a violation of statutory regulations concerning licensing. Misdemeanors are typically considered lesser offenses compared to felonies and are often punishable by fines or shorter jail terms, reflecting the nature of the infraction as not being serious enough to warrant more severe penalties. In this context, the act of not complying with a lawful demand for a license is a breach of professional responsibility and licensing law, thus categorizing it as a misdemeanor. This is important because understanding the distinction between offenses allows contractors to recognize the significance of maintaining compliance with legal requirements tied to their professional licensure.
