. (a) A purchasing alliance whose certificate has been revoked
or suspended for more than one year may petition the commissioner to
reinstate the certificate as provided by Section 11522 of the
Government Code. No petition may be considered if the petitioner is
under criminal sentence for a violation of this chapter, or for any
offense that would constitute grounds for discipline or denial of
registration under this chapter, including any period of probation or
parole.
(b) A purchasing alliance that is barred or suspended for more
than one year from acting as such, or that is subject to an order
imposing discipline that by its terms is effective for more than one
year, may petition the commissioner to reduce by order the penalty in
a manner generally consistent with the provisions of Section 11522
of the Government Code. No petition may be considered if the
petitioner is under criminal sentence for a violation of this
chapter, or for any offense that would constitute grounds for
discipline or denial of registration under this chapter, including
any period of probation or parole.
(c) The petition for restoration shall be in the form prescribed
by the commissioner and the commissioner may condition the granting
of the petition on any additional information and undertakings that
the commissioner may require in order to determine whether the
purchasing alliance, if restored, would engage in business in full
compliance with the objectives and provisions of this chapter and the
rules and regulations adopted by the commissioner under this
chapter.
(d) The commissioner may prescribe a fee not to exceed one
thousand dollars ($1,000) for the filing of a petition for
restoration pursuant to this section. In addition, the commissioner
may condition the granting of the petition to a purchasing alliance
upon payment of the assessment due and unpaid as of December 15
during the preceding 12-calendar-month period, and if the purchasing
alliance's suspension or revocation was in effect for more than 12
months, upon the filing of a new application for registration as a
purchasing alliance and the payment of the fee for certification.
