when it makes any of the following determinations:
(a) The applicant has outstanding an unsatisfied final court
judgment rendered in connection with an activity licensed under the
authority of this division.
(b) The applicant was previously the holder, or a managerial
employee of the holder, of a license issued under this division which
was revoked for cause and never reissued by the department, or which
was suspended for cause and the terms of suspension have not been
fulfilled.
(c) The applicant was previously a business representative whose
license issued under this division was revoked for cause and never
reissued or was suspended for cause and the terms of suspension have
not been fulfilled.

previously the holder of a license, or was a business representative
of a business whose license, issued under this division, was revoked
for cause and never reissued or was suspended for cause and the terms

and circumstances related to the organization, control, and
management of the business, the operation of that business will be
directed, controlled, or managed by individuals who, by reason of
their conviction of violations of this code, would be ineligible for
