Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 6, § 969.38. Denial, suspension, or revocation of licenses

Current as of January 01, 2023 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

A. Renewal of a license originally granted under this Chapter may be denied or a license may be suspended or revoked by the commission for any of the following grounds:

(1) Material misstatements in the application for a license.

(2) Failure to comply with any provision of this Chapter.

(3) Defrauding any borrower to the borrower's damage.

(4) Fraudulent misrepresentation, circumvention, or concealment by the licensee through whatever subterfuge or device of any of the material particulars or the nature thereof required to be stated or furnished to the borrower under this Chapter.

B. If the licensee is a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, it shall be sufficient cause for the suspension or revocation of a license that any partner, member, officer, director, or employee of the licensee has so acted or failed to act as would be cause for suspending or revoking a license to such party as an individual. Each licensee shall be responsible for the acts of any and all of its employees while acting as its agent.

C. (1) No license shall be denied, suspended, or revoked except after hearing thereon. The commission shall give the licensee at least thirty days written notice, in the form of an order to show cause, of the time and place of such hearing by certified mail addressed to the principal place of business in the state of such licensee. The said notice shall contain the grounds of complaint against the licensee.

(2) Any order suspending or revoking such license shall recite the grounds upon which the same is based. The order shall be entered upon the records of the commission and shall not be effective until after thirty days written notice thereof given after such entry forwarded by certified mail to the licensee at such principal place of business.

(3) No revocation, suspension, or surrender of any license shall impair or affect the obligation under any motor vehicle credit contract or agreement entered into or acquired previously thereto by the licensee.

D. Within thirty days after such denial, suspension, or revocation of a license, the licensee may apply for a review thereof by application to the district court for the parish of Jefferson in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act.
