Section 3150.22 - Multistate automated licensing system - Administrator authority - Costs

A. In addition to any other powers conferred upon the Administrator of the Department of Consumer Credit by law, the Administrator is authorized to require persons subject to this act to be licensed through a multistate automated licensing system. Pursuant to this authority, the Administrator may:

1. Promulgate administrative rules that are reasonably necessary for participation in, transition to or operation of a multistate automated licensing system;

2. Establish relationships or enter into agreements that are reasonably necessary for participation in, transition to or operation of a multistate automated licensing system. The agreements may include, but are not limited to, operating agreements, information-sharing agreements, interstate cooperative agreements and technology licensing agreements;

3. Require that applications for licensing under this act and renewals of such licenses may be filed with a multistate automated licensing system;

4. Require that any fees required to be paid under this act and required by a multistate automated licensing system may be paid through a multistate automated licensing system;

5. Establish deadlines for transitioning licensees to a multistate automated licensing system. The Administrator has the authority to deny any applications or renewal applications not filed with a multistate automated licensing system after such deadlines have passed, notwithstanding any dates established elsewhere in this act; provided, however, the Administrator shall provide reasonable notice of any transition deadlines to licensees; and

6. Take such further actions as are reasonably necessary to give effect to this section.

B. Nothing in this section shall authorize the Administrator to require a person who is not subject to this act to submit information to or to participate in a multistate automated licensing system that is operated or participated in pursuant to this act.

C. The Administrator shall retain full authority and discretion to license persons under this act and to enforce this act to its fullest extent. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to be a reduction or derogation of that authority and discretion.

D. Applicants for and holders of licenses issued under this act shall pay all costs associated with submitting an application to or transitioning a license to a multistate automated licensing system, as well as all costs required by a multistate automated licensing system for maintaining and renewing any license issued by the Administrator on a multistate automated licensing system.
