Section 11902 Of Article 3. Representatives From California Vehicle Code >> Division 5. >> Chapter 4. >> Article 3.
11902
. (a) The department shall issue a representative's license
when it finds and determines that the applicant has furnished the
required information, and that the applicant intends in good faith to
act as a representative and has paid the fees required by Sections
9262 and 11723.
(b) The department may refuse to issue, or may suspend or revoke,
a license for any of the following reasons:
(1) The information in the application is incorrect.
(2) The applicant or licensee has been convicted of a crime or
committed any act or engaged in any 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.
(3) The applicant or licensee has outstanding an unpaid final
court judgment rendered in connection with an activity licensed under
this chapter.
(4) The applicant or licensee was previously the holder of, or was
a business representative of a business which was the holder of, a
license and certificate issued under this chapter which were revoked
for cause and not reissued by the department or which were suspended
for cause and the terms of suspension have not been fulfilled.
(5) 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was revoked or suspended for cause and was never reissued, or was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.
(6) The applicant or licensee has committed any act prohibited by
Section 11713.2 or 11713.3.
(c) Pending the determination of the department that the applicant
has met the requirements of this chapter, it may issue a temporary
permit to any person applying for a representative's license. The
temporary permit shall permit the operation by the representative for
a period not to exceed 120 days while the department is completing
its investigation and determination of all facts relative to the
qualifications of the applicant for a license. The temporary permit
is invalid after the applicant's license has been issued or refused.
(d) The department may issue a probationary representative's
license based upon the existence of any circumstance set forth in
subdivision (b), subject to conditions to be observed in the exercise
of the privilege granted, either upon application for the issuance
of a license or upon application for the renewal of a license. The
conditions to be attached to the exercise of the privilege shall not
appear on the face of the license but shall be those which, in the
judgment of the department, are in the public interest and suitable
to the qualifications of the applicant as disclosed by the
application and investigation by the department of the information
contained therein.
