. (a) The commissioner may, after appropriate notice and
opportunity for hearing, by order, censure or suspend for a period
not exceeding 12 months, or bar from any position of employment,
management, or control any finance lender, broker, mortgage loan
originator, or any other person, if the commissioner finds either of
the following:
(1) That the censure, suspension, or bar is in the public interest and that the person has committed or caused a violation of this division or rule or order of the commissioner, which violation was either known or should have been known by the person committing or causing it or has caused material damage to the finance lender, broker, or mortgage loan originator, or to the public.
(2) That the person has been convicted of or pleaded nolo contendere to any crime, or has been held liable in any civil action by final judgment, or any administrative judgment by any public agency, if that crime or civil or administrative judgment involved any offense involving dishonesty, fraud, or deceit, or any other offense reasonably related to the qualifications, functions, or duties of a person engaged in the business in accordance with the provisions of this division.

Upon receipt of a request, the matter shall be set for hearing to commence within 30 days after such receipt unless the person subject to this division consents to a later date. If no hearing is requested within 15 days after the mailing or service of such notice and none is ordered by the commissioner, the failure to request a hearing shall constitute a waiver of the right to a hearing.

(d) Persons suspended or barred under this section are prohibited from participating in any business activity of a finance lender, broker, or mortgage loan originator, and from engaging in any business activity on the premises where a finance lender, broker, or mortgage loan originator is conducting business.
