REVOCATION OF LICENSE FOR PAYMENT FROM FUND.

(a) The commissioner may revoke a residential mortgage loan originator license issued under this subtitle on proof that the commissioner has made a payment from the fund of any amount toward satisfaction of a claim against a state-licensed residential mortgage loan originator under this subchapter.

(b) The commissioner may seek to collect from a state-licensed residential mortgage loan originator the amount paid from the fund on behalf of the originator and any costs associated with investigating and processing the claim against the fund or with collection of reimbursement for payments from the fund, plus interest at the current legal rate until the amount has been repaid in full. Any amount, including interest, recovered by the commissioner shall be deposited to the credit of the fund.

(c) The commissioner may probate an order revoking a license under this section.

(d) A state-licensed residential mortgage loan originator on whose behalf payment was made from the fund is not eligible to receive a new license until the originator has repaid in full, plus interest at the current legal rate, the amount paid from the fund on the originator's behalf and any costs associated with investigating and processing the claim against the fund or with collection of reimbursement from the fund.

(e) This section does not limit the authority of the commissioner to take disciplinary action against a state-licensed residential mortgage loan originator for a violation of the chapter under which the license was issued or the rules adopted by the finance commission under that chapter. The repayment in full to the fund of all obligations of a state-licensed residential mortgage loan originator does not nullify or modify the effect of any other disciplinary proceeding.
