32-2-409. Employment of agents -- licenses and revocation thereof. (1) It is unlawful for a building and loan association doing business in this state to employ an agent for the purpose of soliciting loans or the sale of stock in that association unless the agent is first licensed by the department. An agent representing an association, foreign or domestic, doing business in this state may not solicit loans or the sale of stock of any association unless the agent is first licensed by the department.

(2) A license may not be issued to an applicant for an agent's license until the applicant has first filed with the department a written request from the building and loan association desiring to employ the applicant as agent and has filed an application upon a form prescribed and furnished by the department. The application must show the applicant's name, the business and residence address, the community or district in which the applicant wishes to act as agent, the name of the company to be represented, the applicant's occupation for the last 12 months, and other information that the department may require. If the department is satisfied that the applicant is a fit and proper person to engage in the solicitation of loans or the sale of stock, it shall issue the license. The department, upon 10 days' notice to an agent and after a hearing, may revoke the license of an agent upon the following grounds:

(a) misrepresentation;

(b) conviction in any court for violation of the criminal statutes;

(c) evidence sufficient to convince the department that the agent is not a fit and proper person to sell building and loan association stock.

(3) The department shall revoke the license of an agent upon the request of the association employing the agent.

(4) Each license provided for in this section expires on December 31 of each year, and for issuance or renewal the department shall require a fee of $2.
