§ 32-2407 — Fees; renewal of agency licenses and associate or employee registration certificates

A. The department shall charge and collect reasonable fees as determined by the director to cover the operational and equipment costs of regulating the private investigator industry.

B. Except as provided in section 32-4301, the director may renew an agency license or a registration certificate granted under this chapter after receiving an application on such forms as the department prescribes and receiving the fees prescribed pursuant to subsection A of this section. The renewal of an agency license requires the filing of a surety bond as prescribed in section 32-2423, subsections B and C. A licensee or registrant may not engage in any activity subject to this chapter during any period between the date of expiration of the agency license or registration certificate and the renewal of the agency license or registration certificate.

C. The department shall renew a suspended agency license or registration certificate as provided in this article. Renewal of the agency license or registration certificate does not entitle the licensee or registrant, while the agency license or registration certificate remains suspended and until it is reinstated, to engage in any activity regulated by this chapter, or in any other activity or conduct in violation of the order or judgment by which the agency license or registration certificate was suspended.

D. The director shall not reinstate a revoked agency license or registration certificate. The director shall not accept an application for an agency license or registration certificate from a person whose agency license or registration certificate has been revoked until at least one year after the date of revocation.
