§ 12301.4. — 12301.4. (Added by Stats. 1963, Ch. 1817.)

A licensee shall terminate and cancel any agency immediately upon instruction from the commissioner and when it has been established (a)
that the agent has refused to permit the examination of its books, accounts, records, and files; (b)
that an examination has revealed a shortage in its accounts relating to the sale of checks; (c)
that the agent after specific instruction to do so has failed to remit to the licensee or deposit in its trust account within the time specified in Section 12300.4 funds received from the sale of checks, drafts, money orders, or other commercial paper serving the same purpose or
funds received for the purpose of paying bills, invoices, or accounts of an obligor; (d)
that the agency has violated any provision of this chapter. No agency terminated and canceled by a licensee pursuant to or for the reasons set forth in this section shall be re-established by said licensee or established by any other licensee until after the written consent of the commissioner is given to the establishment or re-establishment of such agency. If the licensee or the agent requests a hearing with respect to such termination, the commissioner shall thereupon hold a hearing within 10 days after receiving such request. If the commissioner finds that the violations were purely technical and do not substantially affect the agent’s ability to perform his duties as such agent, or if the commissioner finds that such violations did not occur, the commissioner shall issue an order vacating his said notice to the licensee.
