Text

(a) Every license issued by the Comptroller shall state the number of the license, the business name and address of the licensee's principal place of business, each branch location also operating under the license, and the licensee's parent company, if any. The license shall be conspicuously posted in each place of business operating under the license. The Comptroller may issue such additional licenses as may be necessary for licensee branch locations upon compliance with the provisions of this Act governing an original issuance of a license for each new license. (b) Individual salespersons representing a licensee shall not be required to obtain licenses in their individual capacities, but must acknowledge, by affidavit, that they have been provided with a copy of and have read this Act. The licensee shall retain copies of the affidavits of its sellers for its records and shall make the affidavits available to the Comptroller for examination upon request. (c) The licensee shall be responsible for the activities of any person representing the licensee in selling or offering a pre-need contract for sale. (d) Any person not selling on behalf of a licensee shall obtain its own license. (e) No license shall be transferable or assignable without the express written consent of the Comptroller. A transfer of more than 50% of the ownership of any business licensed hereunder shall be deemed to be an attempted assignment of the license originally issued to the licensee for which consent of the Comptroller shall be required. (f) Every license issued hereunder shall be renewed every 5 years for a renewal fee of $100. The renewal fee shall be deposited into the Comptroller's Administrative Fund. The Comptroller, upon the request of an interested person or on his own motion, may issue new licenses to a licensee whose license or licenses have been revoked, if no factor or condition then exists which would have warranted the Comptroller to originally refuse the issuance of such license.
