Section VII-311 - Continuing Suitability, Duty to Report

A. Suitability is an ongoing process. An applicant, licensee or permittee, or person required to submit to suitability by the Act or these regulations has a continuing duty to inform the board and division of any action which could reasonably be believed to constitute a violation of the Act or these regulations. This obligation to report is to be construed in the broadest possible manner; any question that exists regarding whether a particular action or circumstance constitutes a violation shall be decided in favor of reporting. The board and division shall be notified no later than 15 days from the date the applicant, licensee or permittee, or person knew or should have known of the possible violation. No person who so informs the board and division shall be discriminated against by an applicant, licensee or permittee because of supplying such information.

B. An applicant, licensee or permittee, or person required to submit to suitability by the Act or these regulations shall also have a continuing duty to inform the board and division of material changes in their affiliations, businesses, financial standing, operations, ownership relationships, corporate management personnel, officers or directors within 15 days of the change. However, in the case of a publicly traded company, this obligation shall be satisfied if such company files with the board and division copies of all form 10Ks, 10Qs, and 8Ks filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 15 days of the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

C. An applicant, licensee or permittee, or person required to submit to suitability by the Act or these regulations shall also have a continuing duty to inform the board and division of all administrative actions instituted or pending in any other jurisdiction against or involving the applicant, licensee, permittee, or the parent corporation or affiliate of the applicant, licensee or permittee, within 15 days of receipt of notice of the administrative actions instituted or pending in any other jurisdiction.

D. Failure to report or provide notice required by this Section may constitute grounds for delaying consideration of the application or denial of the application, revocation, suspension, administrative action, or the imposition of a civil penalty.
