(1) Is insolvent;
(2) Is not financially able to discharge the obligations of the bondsman's liabilities as surety;
(3) Has failed, refused or neglected to make the semiannual reports of assets and liabilities as required in § 40-11-303;
(4) Has made and filed false semiannual reports; or
(5) Has failed to furnish the court with information touching upon solvency, when called for;
then the court may order that the bondsman be prohibited from executing bonds, bail or other undertakings as surety in the court until the court becomes satisfied that the bondsman has complied with this part or the orders of the court, or that the bondsman is again financially solvent, and the court shall impose any other reasonable limitation on the total liability of the bondsman's undertakings in the court. The court shall report any action taken under this section to the board of professional bondsmen for review to determine if additional disciplinary action is to be taken against the professional bondsman.
(b) In addition to the limitations imposed under subsection (a), the board of professional bondsmen may suspend or revoke the professional bondsman's license to practice bail bonding in this state upon its review of the findings of the investigation by the court. A person whose license to practice bail bonding has been suspended or revoked under this subsection (b) may appeal such action by the board pursuant to § 40-11-125.
