The Oklahoma Real Estate Appraiser Board may refuse to issue a registration either on an original application or a renewal application, if it has reasonable grounds to believe and finds any of the following to be true:

1. That the applicant or any partner has, within twelve (12) months preceding the date of the application violated any provision of the Oklahoma Appraisal Management Company Regulation Act or regulation of the Oklahoma Real Estate Appraiser Board;

2. That the applicant is not of good moral character;

3. That the applicant has been the holder of a registration revoked or suspended for cause, or surrendered in lieu of disciplinary proceedings;

4. That the applicant, in the case of an application for renewal of any registration, would not be eligible for such license on a first application;

5. That the issuance of the registration applied for would result in a violation of any provision of the Oklahoma Appraisal Management Company Regulation Act; or

6. When, in the judgment of the Oklahoma Real Estate Appraiser Board, the registrant has, in the conduct of affairs under the registration, demonstrated incompetency, or untrustworthiness, or conduct or practices rendering the registrant unfit to carry on appraisal management services or making continuance in the business detrimental to the public interest, or that the licensee is no longer in good faith carrying on appraisal management services, and for this conduct is found by the Oklahoma Real Estate Appraiser Board to be a source of detriment, injury, or loss to the public.
