New Mexico Statutes Chapter 58. Financial Institutions and Regulations § 58-13C-408. Termination of employment or association of agent and investment adviser representative and transfer of employment or association

A. If an agent registered pursuant to the New Mexico Uniform Securities Act terminates employment by or association with a broker-dealer or issuer, or if an investment adviser representative registered pursuant to that act terminates employment by or association with an investment adviser or federal covered investment adviser, or if either registrant terminates activities that require registration as an agent or investment adviser representative, the broker-dealer, issuer, investment adviser or federal covered investment adviser shall promptly file a notice of termination.

B. If an agent registered pursuant to the New Mexico Uniform Securities Act terminates employment by or association with a broker-dealer registered pursuant to that act and begins employment by or association with another broker-dealer registered pursuant to that act; or if an investment adviser representative registered pursuant to the New Mexico Uniform Securities Act terminates employment by or association with an investment adviser registered pursuant to that act or a federal covered investment adviser that has filed a notice pursuant to Section 405 of that act and begins employment by or association with another investment adviser registered pursuant to that act or a federal covered investment adviser that has filed a notice pursuant to Section 405 of that act then, upon the filing by or on behalf of the registrant, within thirty days after the filing of notice of termination pursuant to Subsection A of this section, of an application for registration that complies with the requirement of Subsection A of Section 406 of that act and payment of the filing fee required pursuant to Section 410 of that act, the registration of the agent or investment adviser representative is immediately effective as of the date of the completed filing if the agent's central registration depository record or successor record or the investment adviser representative's investment adviser registration depository record or successor record does not contain a new or amended disciplinary disclosure within the previous twelve months.

C. The director may prevent the effectiveness of a transfer of an agent or investment adviser representative pursuant to Subsection B of this section based on the public interest and the protection of investors.

D. If the director determines that a registrant or applicant for registration is no longer in existence or has ceased to act as a broker-dealer, agent, investment adviser or investment adviser representative, or is the subject of an adjudication of incapacity or is subject to the control of a committee, conservator or guardian, or cannot reasonably be located, a rule adopted or order issued pursuant to the New Mexico Uniform Securities Act may require the registration be canceled or terminated or the application denied. The director may reinstate a canceled or terminated registration, with or without hearing, and may make the registration retroactive.
