If, after notice and a hearing, the commissioner finds that any California agent of a licensee or any director, officer, employee, or controlling person of such agent: (a) Has violated any provision of this chapter or of any regulation or order issued under this chapter; (b) Has engaged or participated in any unsafe or unsound act with respect to the business of selling payment instruments issued by the licensee; or (c) Has made or caused to be made in any application or report filed with the commissioner or in any proceeding before the commissioner, any statement which was at the time and in the light of the circumstances under which it was made, false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or has omitted to state in any such application or report any material fact which is required to be stated therein: The commissioner may issue an order suspending or barring such agent from continuing to be or becoming an agent of any licensee or of any person referred to in Section 33100(a), during the period for which such order is in effect. 33781. (a) In case a California agent of a licensee is a bank (other than a bank organized under the laws of this state), savings association (other than a savings association organized under the laws of this state), or credit union, the commissioner shall not commence any administrative proceeding under Section 33780 against such agent unless the commissioner shall have first given notice of his or her intent to do so to the governmental agency having primary regulatory authority over the agent and unless, within such time as is in the opinion of the commissioner appropriate in the circumstances of the case (which time shall be specified in such notice), such governmental agency shall have refused or failed to effectuate corrective action by the agent which is satisfactory to the commissioner. (b) No California agent of a licensee which is a bank, savings association, or credit union shall have standing to raise the provisions of subdivision (a) as a defense in any administrative proceeding under Section 33780 or as a basis for challenging or for refusing to comply with any order issued under Section 33780. 33782. (a) Any licensee or person referred to in Section 33100(a) having as a California agent any person to whom an order is issued pursuant to Section 33780 shall, when such order becomes effective, immediately terminate such person as a California agent. (b) No licensee or person referred to in Section 33100 (a) shall appoint as a California agent any person with respect to whom an order issued under Section 33780 is in effect. 33783.

(a) Any person to whom an order is issued under Section 33780 may apply to the commissioner to modify or rescind such order. The commissioner shall not grant such application unless the commissioner finds that it is in the public interest to do so and that it is reasonable to believe that such person will, if and when such person becomes a California agent of a licensee, comply with all applicable provisions of this division and of any regulation and order issued under this division. (b) The right of any person to whom an order is issued under Section 33780 to petition for judicial review of such order shall not be affected by the failure of such person to apply to the commissioner pursuant to subdivision (a) to modify or rescind the order. 33785. No licensee shall appoint or continue as a California agent any person whom the Commissioner of Corporations has, pursuant to Section 12301.4, ordered a check seller licensed under Division 3 (commencing with Section 12000) to terminate as its agent, unless the Commissioner of Corporations shall have first, pursuant to Section 12301.4, vacated such order or given his written consent for any check seller licensed under Division 3 to appoint such person as its agent.
