§ 27-32-180 — Registration of persons engaging in the sale of vacation time sharing plans; form and contents; exemption for regular employees of seller; fees; seller's supervision and control; renewal.

(A) Except as provided in subsection (B) of this section, a person desiring to engage in the sale of vacation time sharing plans on behalf of a seller shall first register with the commission. The registration must be submitted to the commission by the person on a form prescribed by the commission and including the name, address, and telephone number of the person and additional information as requested by the commission. (B) Regular employees of the seller are exempt from the registration requirements of subsection (A) and from all licensing requirements of Chapter 57 of Title 40. (C) A person registering pursuant to this section shall pay an initial registration fee in the amount of one hundred dollars. This fee must accompany the registration application submitted to the commission. (D) The seller shall supervise, manage, and control all aspects of the offering and sale of a vacation time sharing plan. A violation of this chapter by a registrant employed by a seller as an independent contractor, either directly or through a third party, in connection with the offering or sales of interests in vacation time sharing plans may be considered to be a violation by the seller, as well as by the registrant who committed the violation, if the seller knew or should have known of the conduct constituting the violation. (E) The registration of a person registered pursuant to this section is subject to annual renewal, on or before June thirtieth, upon submission of a renewal application in a form as the commission prescribes and payment of a fifty-dollar renewal fee. Failure to timely renew results in cancellation of the registration.
