Section 34-27-67 - Registration required of every plan offered for sale

Every vacation time-sharing plan for sale or offered for sale in this state shall be registered with the Alabama Real Estate Commission as follows:

(1) Upon receipt of an application for registration in the required form, the commission shall forthwith initiate an examination to determine that:

a. The seller may convey or cause to be conveyed the vacation time-sharing plan offered for sale if the purchaser complies with the terms of the offer.

b. The advertising material and general promotional plan are not false or misleading as determined by the commission.

c. The requirements of this article and the rules of the commission have been fulfilled.

d. The seller has not, or, if a corporation, its officers, directors, and principals have not been convicted of any crime involving land dispositions, any crime of moral turpitude, any securities law violation, fraudulent business activity, or any aspect of the vacation time-sharing business in this state, the United States, or any other state or foreign country within the 10 years immediately preceding the date of application, and has not been subject to any injunction or administrative order within the preceding 10 years involving any of the activities above.

(2) Upon receipt of the application for registration in required form, the commission shall issue a notice of filing to the applicant. If within 45 days from the date of the notice of filing, the commission affirmatively determines upon inquiry and examination that the requirements of this article have been met, the commission shall enter an order registering the vacation time-sharing plan or rejecting the registration. If no order of rejection is entered within 45 days from the date of notice of filing, the vacation time-sharing plan shall be deemed registered unless the applicant has consented in writing to a delay. No reasonable request for an extension of time by the commission shall be withheld; provided that if the commission determines upon inquiry and examination that any of the requirements of this article have not been met, the commission shall notify the applicant that the application for registration must be corrected in the particulars specified within 15 days. If the requirements are not met within the time allowed, the commission shall enter an order rejecting the registration which shall include the findings of fact upon which the order is based. The order rejecting the registration shall not become effective for 20 days during which time the applicant may petition for reconsideration and shall be entitled to a hearing.
