. It is the intent of the Legislature, in amending Section
9262 in 2009 to increase the fee for the annual renewal of the
license of a dealer and of a lessor-retailer to one hundred
twenty-five dollars ($125), that forty dollars ($40) of that fee
shall, when appropriated, be utilized by the department for the
investigation of those dealers and lessor-retailers who demonstrate
the greatest potential for causing losses to consumers as shown by
repeated consumer complaints, habitual violations of the requirements
of their licenses, the issuance of a probationary license by the
department, or a violation of other standards and criteria
established by the department for these purposes.
