to recover the costs of the proceeding, including investigative costs and attorney's

fees. 3. The grounds for revocation or suspension of a license are that: (a) The private professional guardian company has failed to pay the annual license

or any regulation adopted pursuant thereto or any lawful order of the Commissioner; (c) The private professional guardian company has failed to pay any applicable state
