Sec. 667.111. - Suspension and revocation of registration.

(a) The Division may suspend or revoke the registration of a registrant under this Chapter upon any of the following grounds: (1) The giving of false or misleading information on the application or in connection with the investigation of the application. (2) The violation of a provision of this Chapter or of a rule made pursuant to this Chapter and applicable to the registrant or, if the registrant is a group, organization, act or company, to an individual member thereof. (3) Conviction of the registrant or, if the registrant is a group, organization, act or company, of an individual member thereof, of a crime or ordinance violation involving disturbing the peace, obstructing public passages, public intoxication, assault or battery, unlawful assemblies, fraudulent practices or theft and arising out of the exhibition or sale for which the registration was approved. (4) Failure or refusal by the registrant or, if the registrant is a group, organization, act or company, by an individual member thereof, to allow the Division or a duly authorized representative thereof to visit and examine the registrant's studio or workplace and records, in cases of reexamination of the registrant as provided in Section 667.112 . (b) The Division shall and it is directed to promulgate in its rules a general procedure to be followed when the suspension or revocation of a registration is proposed. This procedure shall be fair and reasonable and shall afford the registrant an opportunity to be heard and to present his arguments and defenses before a decision is rendered by the Division. (c) A suspension may be ordered for any period within the length of time for which the registration was approved, at the end of which period the suspension shall be automatically terminated and the registration reinstated under the original terms and conditions; provided, that the suspension may be made terminable in advance of the ordered time by the fulfilling of conditions imposed at the same time as the suspension is ordered. A revocation shall have the effect of terminating the registration as soon as it is ordered; provided, that the order of revocation may provide that the revocation will be rescinded (and the registration reinstated) upon the fulfilling of conditions imposed at the same time as the revocation was ordered. The order of revocation may, for good cause found by the Division, provide that the revocation shall be permanent and prohibit the registrant from making an application for registration at any time in the future. Revocation of a registration shall not, except as provided in the preceding sentence, preclude the registrant from filing an application for another registration.
