Oklahoma § 59-1800.13 - Suspension or revocation of license

§ 59-1800.13. Suspension or revocation of license

A. The Commissioner of Labor on recommendation of the Alarm,

Locksmith and Fire Sprinkler Industry Committee may suspend any

license, upon the conviction of any individual named on the license

or on the application for license of a felony, for a period not to

exceed thirty (30) days pending a full investigation by the

Committee. Such investigation shall be initiated within the thirtyday period of the suspension. A final determination by the

Committee shall result in either removal of the suspension or such

sanction as the Commissioner considers appropriate, as provided by

the Alarm, Locksmith and Fire Sprinkler Industry Act.

B. The Commissioner may revoke or suspend any license,

reprimand any licensee or deny any application for license or

renewal if, in the judgment of the Committee:

1. The applicant or licensee has violated any provision of the

Alarm, Locksmith and Fire Sprinkler Industry Act or any rule or

regulation promulgated thereto;

2. The applicant or licensee has committed any offense

resulting in the applicant's or licensee's conviction of a felony or

crime involving moral turpitude. Provided, however, if the

applicant has had no felony convictions at least ten (10) years

prior to making application for a license and the applicant has

shown the Committee that the applicant has been rehabilitated, the

Committee may recommend the applicant for a license;

3. The applicant or licensee has practiced fraud, deceit,

theft, larceny, arson, or misrepresentation;

4. The applicant or licensee has made a material misstatement

in any information required by the Committee; or

5. The applicant or licensee has demonstrated incompetence or

untrustworthiness in the applicant's or licensee's actions.

C. The Committee shall, before final action under subsection B

of this section, provide a thirty-day written notice to the

applicant or licensee involved, of the action intended and give

sufficient opportunity for such person to request an administrative

hearing and to be represented by an attorney. A hearing shall be

scheduled by the Commissioner if so requested as provided in the

Administrative Procedures Act.

D. In the event the Commissioner denies the application for, or

revokes or suspends, any license or imposes any reprimand, a record

of such action shall be in writing and officially signed by the

Commissioner. The original copy shall be filed with the Department

of Labor and a copy mailed to the affected applicant or licensee

within two (2) days of the final action taken by the Commissioner.

E. Notice of the suspension or revocation of any license shall

be made public record.

F. A suspended license shall be subject to expiration and may

be renewed as provided by the Alarm, Locksmith and Fire Sprinkler

Industry Act, regardless of the term of suspension; provided, a

renewal shall not remove the suspension term.

G. A revoked license terminates on the date of revocation and

cannot be reinstated; provided, the Commissioner may reverse the

revocation action. Any licensee whose license is revoked shall

apply for a new license and meet all requirements for a license as

stated in the Alarm, Locksmith and Fire Sprinkler Industry Act prior

to engaging in any alarm, locksmith or fire sprinkler industry

business activities. The Committee and the Commissioner shall take

action on the new application and may require additional safeguards

against such acts by the applicant as may have been the cause of the

revocation of the prior license.
