(c) Proof that the licensee has made false statements in any material regard on the application for a tissue bank license.

(d) Conduct inimical to the public health, morals, welfare, or safety of the people of the State of California in the maintenance or operation of the premises or services for which a license is issued.

(e) Conduct prohibited under Section 367f of the Penal Code and under Section 274e of Title 42 of the United States Code.

(f) The conviction of a licensee or the person in charge of the tissue bank of any crime which is substantially related to the qualifications or duties of the licensee or the person in charge of the tissue bank or which is substantially related to the functions of the tissue bank. For purposes of this section, a conviction means a plea or verdict of guilty or a conviction following a plea of nolo contendere. An action to revoke or suspend the license may be taken when the time for appeal has elapsed or the judgment of conviction has been affirmed on appeal or when an order granting probation is made suspending the imposition of sentence, notwithstanding a subsequent order pursuant to Section 1203.4 of the Penal Code permitting withdrawal of a plea of guilty and entry of a plea of not guilty, or setting aside the verdict of guilty, or dismissing the accusation, information or indictment. The director shall take into account all competent evidence of rehabilitation furnished by the licensee or person in charge of the tissue bank.
