17:16D-6. Revocation and suspension of licenses
The commissioner may revoke or suspend the license of any premium finance company when and if after investigation the commissioner finds that

(a) Any license issued to such company was obtained by fraud,

(b) There was any misrepresentation in the application for the license,

(c) The holder of such license has otherwise shown himself untrustworthy or incompetent to act as premium finance company, or

(d) Such company has violated any of the provisions of this act.

Before the commissioner shall revoke, suspend or refuse to renew the license of any premium finance company, he shall give to such person an opportunity to be fully heard and to introduce evidence in his behalf. In lieu of revoking or suspending the license for any of the causes enumerated in this section, after hearing as herein provided, the commissioner may subject such company to a penalty of not more than $200.00 for each offense when in his judgment he finds that the public interest would not be harmed by the continued operation of such company. The amount of any such penalty shall be paid by such company to the commissioner for the use of the State. At any hearing provided by this section, the commissioner shall have authority to administer oaths to witnesses. Anyone testifying falsely, after having been administered such oath, shall be subject to the penalty of perjury.

Any action of the commissioner in refusing to issue or renew a license shall be subject to review in the Superior Court by a proceeding in lieu of prerogative writ.
