2541
. (a) The commissioner may deny a license if the applicant or
any partner, officer, or director thereof:
(1) Fails to meet the qualifications established by the department
pursuant to this chapter for the issuance of the license applied
for.
(2) Was previously the holder of a license issued under this
chapter which license has been revoked and never reissued or which
license was suspended and the terms of the suspension have not been
fulfilled.
(3) Has committed any act which, if committed by any licensee,
would be grounds for the suspension or revocation of a license issued
pursuant to this chapter.
(4) Has committed any act involving dishonesty, fraud, or deceit
whereby another is injured or whereby the applicant has benefited.
(5) Has acted in the capacity of a licensed person or firm under
this chapter without having a license therefor.
(6) Has entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, or been
found guilty of, or been convicted of, a felony, or a crime involving
moral turpitude, and the time for appeal has elapsed or the judgment
of conviction has been affirmed on appeal, irrespective of an order
granting probation following such conviction, suspending the
imposition of sentence, or of a subsequent order under the provisions
of Section 1203.4 of the Penal Code allowing such person to withdraw
his plea of guilty and to enter a plea of not guilty, or setting
aside the plea or verdict of guilty, or dismissing the accusation or
information.
(b) The commissioner may also deny a license if a corporation is
the applicant and the policy or activities of the corporation are or
will be directed, controlled, or managed by individuals or
shareholders who are ineligible for a license, and the licensing of
that corporation would likely defeat the purpose of this section.
