33-20-1304. Issuance of license. (1) The commissioner may issue a license to the applicant if the commissioner determines that the applicant:

(a) has satisfied all of the requirements for the license for which an application is made;

(b) has not engaged in conduct that would authorize the commissioner to refuse to issue a license under this part; and

(c) is financially responsible and has a good business reputation.

(2) The commissioner may issue a license to a nonresident applicant only if the nonresident applicant files with the commissioner in writing an appointment of the commissioner to be the agent of the applicant upon whom all legal process in any action or proceeding against the applicant may be served. In the appointment, the applicant shall agree that any lawful process against the applicant that is served upon the commissioner is of the same legal force and validity as if served upon the applicant and that the authority will continue in force as long as any liability remains outstanding in this state. An appointment under this subsection becomes effective on the date that the commissioner issues the license to the applicant.

(3) If the commissioner denies an application, the commissioner shall inform the applicant and state the grounds for the denial.

(4) An individual may act as a viatical settlement provider or viatical settlement broker under the authority of the license of a firm or of a corporate viatical settlement provider whether or not the individual holds a license as a viatical settlement provider if:

(a) the individual is a member or employee of the firm or is an employee, officer, or director of the corporation; and

(b) the individual is designated by the firm or corporation on its license application or on a form that amends or supplements the application as being authorized to act as a viatical settlement provider under the authority of the license.
