B. When, in the judgment of the superintendent, the licensee in the conduct of affairs under the license has demonstrated incompetency, untrustworthiness, conduct or practices rendering the licensee unfit to engage in the bail bond business, or making the licensee's continuance in such business detrimental to the public interest, or that the licensee is no longer in good faith engaged in the bail bond business, or that the licensee is guilty of rebating, or offering to rebate the licensee's commissions in the case of limited surety agents or premiums in the case of property bondsmen, and for such reasons is found by the superintendent to be a source of detriment, injury or loss to the public, the superintendent shall revoke or suspend the license. C. In case of the suspension or revocation of license of any bail bondsman, the license of any or all other bail bondsmen who are members of the same agency and any or all solicitors employed by such agency, who knowingly were parties to the act that formed the ground for the suspension or revocation shall likewise be suspended or revoked, except for the purpose of completing pending matters, and those persons who knowingly were parties to the act are prohibited from being licensed as a member of or bail bondsman or solicitor for some other agency. D. No license under the Bail Bondsmen Licensing Law shall be issued, renewed or permitted to exist when the same is used directly or indirectly to circumvent the provisions of the Bail Bondsmen Licensing Law.
