(c) The secretary of state may withdraw a temporary

within thirty (30) days after the filing of the application. If

investment adviser representative, or is the subject of an
adjudication of incapacity or is subject to the control of a
committee, conservator, or guardian, or cannot reasonably be
located, a rule adopted or order issued under this act may
require the registration be cancelled or terminated or the
application denied. The secretary of state may reinstate a
cancelled or terminated registration, with or without hearing,
and may make the registration retroactive.
