Florida Cosmetology License Practice Exam

Anyone who violates any provision of the state statutes commits a?

1. 1st degree misdemeanor

2. Civil offense

3. Felony

4. 3rd degree misdemeanor

The correct answer is: 3rd degree misdemeanor

A 1st degree misdemeanor is incorrect because the severity of a violation does not automatically equate to the degree of the violation. While a 1st degree misdemeanor is a possibility, it is not the only option. A civil offense is incorrect because the state statutes mentioned in the question refers to a specific set of laws established by the state government, whereas civil offenses are typically handled in civil courts and involve disputes between private parties. A felony is incorrect because felonies carry a heavier penalty than misdemeanors and are reserved for more serious crimes. Not all violations of state statutes will result in a felony charge. The correct answer is a 3rd degree misdemeanor because this is the specified penalty for violating state statutes. A 3rd degree misdemeanor is less severe than a 1st degree misdemeanor and a felony, making it the most likely option for a violation of state statutes.
