(A) A person may not engage in or offer professional employer services in this State without holding a license issued under this chapter. A person that desires a professional employer organization license shall file with the department a written application accompanied by an application fee of one hundred dollars for each controlling person. In addition, the application fee is two hundred dollars for each professional employer organization, and three hundred dollars for each professional employer organization group. (B) The department may require an applicant for a license to provide information and certifications to determine whether the applicant meets the licensing requirements of this chapter and also whether individuals affiliated with the applicant are qualified to serve as controlling persons. (C) A licensee or controlling person shall notify the department within thirty days of any felony conviction or civil judgment entered against the licensee or controlling person. (D) An application for a professional employer organization group license under Section 40-68-80 must provide the information required by this chapter for each member of the group. An applicant or licensee is ineligible for a license for one year after the date of final departmental action on the denial or revocation of a license applied for or issued under this chapter. This restriction does not apply to a denial or revocation of a license if the basis of the action was: (1) an inadvertent error or omission in the application if that error or omission is promptly corrected; (2) the experience documented to the department was insufficient at the time of the previous application; (3) the department was unable to complete the criminal background investigation required under Section 40-68-40 because of insufficient information received from a local, state, or federal law enforcement agency; or (4) that one or more of the controlling persons affiliated with the applicant or licensee was determined by the department to be unsuitable, if that unsuitable controlling person has in fact ceased to be a controlling person of the applicant or licensee.
