The administrator of the division of motor vehicles may deny an application for a license or suspend or revoke a license after it has been granted for any of the following reasons:

(1) A material misstatement by the applicant in his or her application for a license or the concealing of a material fact in connection with it.

(2) The applicant or any partner, officer, director, or stockholder in the school had previously held a drivers' school license or was a partner, officer, director, or stockholder in a school which held a drivers' school license, and that license was revoked or suspended by the administrator of the division of motor vehicles.

(3) The applicant or any partner, officer, director, stockholder, or employee in the school was convicted of any felony or misdemeanor.

(6) Any conduct or representation by the applicant or any partner, officer, director, stockholder, or employee in the school tending to give the impression that a license to operate a motor vehicle or motorcycle or any other license or registration granted by the division of motor vehicles may be obtained by any means other than the means prescribed by law or tending to induce any person to resort to fraudulent representation, circumvention, concealment, or subterfuge in order to secure a license to drive a motor vehicle or motorcycle.

(7) Knowingly employing as an instructor a person who has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor.
