§ 26-2920. Revocation or suspension of authorized representatives

(1) If, after notice and a hearing, the director finds that any authorized representative of a licensee or any director, officer, employee, or controlling person of such authorized representative:

(a) Has violated any provision of this chapter, or of any rule or order issued under the provisions of this chapter;

(b) Has engaged or participated in any unsafe or unsound act with respect to the business of selling or issuing payment instruments of the licensee or the business of money transmission; or

(c) Has made or caused to be made in any application or report filed with the director or in any proceeding before the director, any statement which was at the time and in the circumstances under which it was made, false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or has omitted to state in any such application or report any material fact which is required to be stated therein, the director may issue an order suspending or barring such authorized representative from continuing to be or becoming an authorized representative of any licensee during the period for which such order is in effect. Upon issuance of such order, the licensee shall terminate its relationship with such authorized representative according to the terms of the order.

(2) (a) Any authorized representative to whom an order is issued under the provisions of this section may apply to the director to modify or rescind such order. The director shall not grant such application unless the director finds that it is in the public interest to do so and that it is reasonable to believe that such person will, if and when such person is permitted to resume being an authorized representative of a licensee, comply with all applicable provisions of this chapter and of any rule and order issued under the provisions of this chapter.

(b) The right of any authorized representative to whom an order is issued under the provisions of this section to petition for judicial review of such order shall not be affected by the failure of such persons to apply to the director to modify or rescind the order.
