(a) The commissioner shall suspend or revoke any license, upon notice and reasonable opportunity to be heard, if the commissioner finds any of the following:

(1) The licensee has failed to comply with any demand, ruling, or requirement of the commissioner made pursuant to and within the authority of this division.

(2) The licensee has violated any provision of this division or any rule or regulation made by the commissioner under and within the authority of this division.

(3) A fact or condition exists that, if it had existed at the time of the original application for the license, reasonably would have warranted the commissioner in refusing to issue the license originally.

(4) There has been repeated failure by the finance lender, when making or negotiating loans, to take into consideration in determining the size and duration of loans, the financial ability of the borrower to repay the loan in the time and manner provided in the loan contract, or to refinance the loan at maturity.

(5) There has been repeated failure by the program administrator, when administering assessment contracts, to take into consideration in determining the size and duration of the assessment contracts, the property owner’s ability to meet the annual PACE obligations in the time and manner provided in the contract.

(b) A master license shall not be suspended or revoked pursuant to this section as a result of any action or failure to act by a subsidiary licensee unless grounds exist for the suspension or revocation of the master license pursuant to this section. An order suspending or revoking a license or imposing sanctions against a licensee shall not affect other licensed locations unless expressly stated in the order.

(c) This section shall become operative on January 1, 2019.
