Text

(a)
Every license issued to a corporation entitles one officer thereof on behalf of the corporation to engage in the business of broker without the payment of any further fee and such officer shall be designated in the application of the corporation for a license. When a broker’s license is issued to a corporation, if it desires any of its officers other than the officer designated by it in the application as provided in this section to act under its license as a broker, it shall procure an additional broker’s license to so employ each of such additional officers. For each officer other than the officer so designated through whom the corporation engages in the business of broker, the appropriate original or renewal fee shall be paid in addition to the fee paid by the corporation.
(b)
Each officer of a corporation through whom it is licensed to act as a broker is, while so employed under such license, a licensed yacht broker, but licensed only to act as such for and on behalf of the corporation as an officer.
(c)
An officer of a corporation licensed to act as a broker on behalf of the corporation who desires also to act as a broker or salesman under this article on his own behalf shall procure a separate license in accordance with the provisions of this article.
(d)
The department may deny, suspend, or revoke the broker’s license of a corporation as to any officer acting under its license without revoking the license of the corporation. Every corporation making application for a license under this article shall furnish the department with a resolution of its board of directors giving the name of the officer or officers who shall act for and on behalf of the corporation.
(e)
Every corporation licensed under the provisions of this article may by resolution of its board of directors substitute another officer for the one named in the corporation license, provided the person to be substituted qualifies as provided for in this article for a broker’s license and the corporation pays the appropriate original, renewal, or transfer fee as set forth in this article.
