. The department may refuse to issue a license to a
manufacturer, manufacturer branch, remanufacturer, remanufacturer
branch, distributor, distributor branch, transporter, or dealer, if
it determines any of the following:
(a) The applicant was previously the holder, or a managerial
employee of the holder, of a license issued under this chapter 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was revoked for cause and never reissued by the department, or which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.
(b) The applicant was previously a business representative of a
business whose license issued under this chapter was revoked for
cause and never reissued or was suspended for cause and the terms of
suspension have not been fulfilled.
(c) If the applicant is a business, a business representative of
the business was previously the holder of a license, or was a
business representative of a business whose license, issued under
this chapter was revoked for cause and never reissued or was
suspended for cause and the terms of suspension have not been
fulfilled; or, by reason of the facts 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
the provisions of this code, would be ineligible for a license and,
by licensing the business, the purposes of this chapter would be
defeated.
(d) The applicant, or a business representative if the applicant
is a business, has been convicted of a crime or committed an act or
engaged in conduct involving moral turpitude which is substantially
related to the qualifications, functions, or duties of the licensed
activity. A conviction after a plea of nolo contendere is a
conviction within the meaning of this section.
(e) The applicant was previously the holder of an occupational
license issued by another state, authorizing the same or similar
activities of a license issued under this division; and that license
was revoked or suspended for cause and was never reissued, or was
suspended for cause, and the terms of suspension have not been
fulfilled.
(f) The information contained in the application is incorrect.
(g) Upon investigation, the business history required by Section
11704 contains incomplete or incorrect information, or reflects
substantial business irregularities.
(h) A decision of the department to cancel, suspend, or revoke a
license has been made and the applicant was a business representative
of the business regulated under that license.
(i) The applicant has failed to repay the full amount of a claim
paid by the Consumer Motor Vehicle Recovery Corporation, plus
interest at the rate of 10 percent per annum. The dealer or
lessor-retailer's discharge in bankruptcy shall not relieve the
dealer or lessor-retailer from the provisions of this subdivision,
except to the extent, if any, mandated by bankruptcy law.
