What happens if you fail to file the oath and bond on time?

  1. Your commission is void and you must pay $20 to reapply and complete a new application

  2. You get a 30-day grace period to comply

  3. You can appeal for an extension

  4. A fine is imposed but your commission remains valid

The correct answer is: Your commission is void and you must pay $20 to reapply and complete a new application

If you fail to file the oath and bond on time, your commission is considered void. This means that you are no longer authorized to act or make decisions in the position. In order to regain your commission, you must pay a fee of $20 and complete a new application process. The other options are incorrect because they do not address the consequences of failing to file the necessary documents on time. Option B mentions a grace period, but it does not specify what happens after the grace period ends. Option C mentions appealing for an extension, but it does not mention what happens if the appeal is unsuccessful. Option D mentions a fine being imposed, but it does not address the status of your commission. So, Option A is the correct and most appropriate answer.
