§ 12389.3. When there exists a restriction in a stock certificate requiring the consent of t

When there exists a restriction in a stock certificate requiring the consent of the department prior to the transfer of the stock, the request for consent to transfer shall be submitted to the department for approval. Requests for consent to transfer stock certificates representing less than 10 percent of the outstanding stock of the company to existing stockholders, the company which issued the stock, or persons who have been employed by the underwritten title company for the preceding 12 months, shall be approved or denied by the department within 60 days of the request for consent to transfer. If no action is taken by the department within 60 days, the request for consent to transfer stock certificates shall be deemed approved. In no event may the 60-day period be extended or waived by the applicant or the department. The time limits set forth in this section shall not apply where the transfer of the stock would result in the transferee, other than the company which issued the stock, owning 10 percent or more of the outstanding stock of the company.
