(a)
The commissioner may, without hearing, issue an order denying an application by a business entity for an unrestricted license and granting instead a restricted license. The commissioner may do so when a controlling person of the business entity, as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 1668.5, holds a restricted license. The commissioner may impose any reasonable restriction on the business entity’s authority to transact insurance that is similar or related to the restriction imposed upon the controlling person. A description of the nature and scope of the restriction imposed upon the business entity shall be included in the commissioner’s order. The business entity shall have no property right in the restricted license and the commissioner may, with or without
hearing or cause, suspend or revoke the restricted license. The restricted license shall be issued in the normal course of business following the issuance of the order and shall remain in effect pending the outcome of any request for reconsideration and any decision following a hearing pursuant to that request.
(b)
The business entity may request reconsideration of the commissioner’s decision to deny an unrestricted license within 30 days from the date that the decision is mailed to the entity. If the business entity requests a hearing on the request for reconsideration, the hearing shall be conducted pursuant to Article 10 (commencing with Section 11445.10) of Chapter 4.5 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, and the business entity shall bear the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that an unrestricted license should have been granted instead of a restricted license. If the commissioner determines, after a
hearing, that the business entity should have been granted an unrestricted license, the entity shall be granted that unrestricted license retroactive to the date of the granting of the restricted license.
