Before entering an order refusing to register any person as a broker-dealer, agent, investment adviser, or investment adviser representative, as provided in section 10-04-10, or censuring, placing limitations, suspending, or revoking the registration of any person as a registered broker-dealer, agent, investment adviser, or investment adviser representative as provided in section 10-04-11, the commissioner shall send to that person, and if that person is an agent or investment adviser representative or an applicant for registration as an agent or investment adviser representative, to the registered broker-dealer or investment adviser who employs or proposes to employ that agent or investment adviser representative, a notice of opportunity for hearing.

The date set for the hearing must be within thirty days, but not earlier than fifteen days, after the request for hearing has been made, unless otherwise agreed to by both the commissioner and the person requesting the hearing.
