(a) A purchasing alliance whose certificate has been revoked or suspended for more than one year may petition the commissioner to reinstate the certificate as provided by Section 11522 of the Government Code. No petition may be considered if the petitioner is under criminal sentence for a violation of this chapter, or for any offense that would constitute grounds for discipline or denial of registration under this chapter, including any period of probation or parole.
(b) A purchasing alliance that is barred or suspended for more than one year from acting as such, or that is subject to an order imposing discipline that by its terms is effective for more than one year, may petition the commissioner to reduce by order the penalty in a manner generally consistent with the provisions of Section 11522 of the Government Code. No petition may be considered if the petitioner is under criminal sentence for a violation of this chapter, or for any offense that would constitute grounds for discipline or denial of registration under this chapter, including any period of probation or parole.
(c) The petition for restoration shall be in the form prescribed by the commissioner and the commissioner may condition the granting of the petition on any additional information and undertakings that the commissioner may require in order to determine whether the purchasing alliance, if restored, would engage in business in full compliance with the objectives and provisions of this chapter and the rules and regulations adopted by the commissioner under this chapter.
(d) The commissioner may prescribe a fee not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) for the filing of a petition for restoration pursuant to this section. In addition, the commissioner may condition the granting of the petition to a purchasing alliance upon payment of the assessment due and unpaid as of December 15 during the preceding 12-calendar-month period, and if the purchasing alliance’s suspension or revocation was in effect for more than 12 months, upon the filing of a new application for registration as a purchasing alliance and the payment of the fee for certification.
