§ 70-820.6. Certificate of registration - Issuance or denial Renewal

CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION; ISSUANCE OR DENIAL; RENEWAL.

A. Except as otherwise provided in subsection B of this

section, the Secretary of State shall issue a certificate of

registration to an applicant for registration who complies with

subsection A of Section 5 of this act.

B. The Secretary of State may refuse to issue a certificate of

registration to an applicant for registration under subsection A of

Section 5 of this act if the Secretary of State determines that the

making the determination, the Secretary of State may consider

whether the applicant has:

1. Pleaded guilty or no contest to, has been convicted of, or

has charges pending for, a crime that would involve moral turpitude

or be a felony if committed in this state;

2. Made a materially false, misleading, deceptive or fraudulent

representation in the application or as an athlete agent;

3. Engaged in conduct that would disqualify the applicant from

serving in a fiduciary capacity;

4. Engaged in conduct prohibited by Section 14 of this act;

5. Had a registration as an athlete agent suspended, revoked or

denied in any state;

6. Been refused renewal of registration as an athlete agent in

any state;

7. Engaged in conduct resulting in imposition of a sanction,

suspension or declaration of ineligibility to participate in an

interscholastic, intercollegiate or professional athletic event on a

student athlete or a sanction on an educational institution; or

8. Engaged in conduct that adversely reflects on the

applicant's credibility, honesty or integrity.

C. In making a determination under subsection B of this

section, the Secretary of State shall consider:

1. How recently the conduct occurred;

2. The nature of the conduct and the context in which it

occurred; and

3. Other relevant conduct of the applicant.

D. An athlete agent registered under subsection A of this

section may apply to renew the registration by submitting an

application for renewal in a form prescribed by the Secretary of

State. The applicant shall sign the application for renewal under

penalty of perjury and include current information on all matters

required in an original application for registration.

E. An athlete agent registered under subsection C of Section 5

of this act may renew the registration by proceeding under

subsection D of this section or, if the registration in the other

state has been renewed, by submitting to the Secretary of State

copies of the application for renewal in the other state and the

renewed registration from the other state. The Secretary of State

shall renew the registration if the Secretary of State determines:

1. The registration requirements of the other state are

substantially similar to or more restrictive than the Revised

Uniform Athlete Agents Act; and

2. The renewed registration has not been suspended or revoked

and no action involving the individual's conduct as an athlete agent

is pending against the individual or the individual's registration

in any state.

under the Revised Uniform Athlete Agents Act is valid for two (2)

years.
