(a) Whenever a qualified certificate holder actively in charge of an office ceases to be in charge, the licensee shall file with the bureau notice, in writing, within 30 days from such cessation.
If the notice is filed, the license shall remain in force for a period of 90 days after the filing of the notice. At the end of the 90-day period or an additional period, not to exceed one year, as specified by the director, if written notice is not given that a qualified person is then actively in charge of the office, the agency license shall be automatically suspended.
If the licensee shall fail to give written notice at the end of the 30-day period, the agency license shall be automatically suspended.
A license suspended under this section may be reinstated upon payment of the reinstatement fee and submission of a reinstatement application.
A person who performs any act for which a repossession agency license is required during the period of suspension is subject to the penal provisions of Article 3 (commencing with Section 7502), in addition to the provisions of Article 9 (commencing with Section 7508) and Article 10 (commencing with Section 7510).
(b) In case of the death of a person licensed as an individual, a member of the immediate family of the deceased licensee shall be entitled to continue the business under the same license for 120 days following the death of the licensee, provided that written notice is made to the bureau within 30 days following the death of the licensee. At the end of the 120-day period, the license shall be automatically canceled. If no request is received within the 30-day period, the license shall be automatically canceled at the end of that period.
(c) In the case of the death or disassociation of a partner of an entity licensed as a partnership, the licensee shall notify the bureau, in writing, within 30 days from the death or disassociation of the individual. If notice is given, the license shall remain in force for 90 days following the death or disassociation. At the end of that period, the license shall be automatically canceled. If the licensee fails to notify the bureau within the 30-day period, the license shall be automatically canceled at the end of that period.
(d) A license extended under this section is subject to all other provisions of this chapter.
