§ 4738.07. Grounds for denial of license; appeal.
 

The registrar of motor vehicles shall deny the application of any person for a license under this chapter and refuse to issue him a license if the registrar finds that the applicant: 

(A) Has made false statement of a material fact in his application; 

(B) Has not complied with sections 4738.01 to 4738.15 of the Revised Code; 

(C) Is of bad business repute or has habitually defaulted on financial obligations; 

(D) Has been convicted of a felony; 

(E) Has been guilty of a fraudulent act in connection with dealing in salvage motor vehicles or when operating as a motor vehicle salvage dealer, salvage motor vehicle auction, or salvage motor vehicle pool; 

(F) Is insolvent; 

(G) Is of insufficient responsibility to assure the prompt payment of any final judgments which might reasonably be entered against him because of the transaction of his business during the period of the license applied for; 

(H) Has no established place of business; 

(I) Has less than twelve months prior to said application, been denied a license under this chapter. 

If the applicant is a corporation or partnership, the registrar may refuse to issue a license if any officer, director, or partner of the applicant has been guilty of any act or omission which would be cause for refusing or revoking a license issued to the officer, director, or partner as an individual. The registrar's finding may be based upon facts contained in the application or upon any other information which he may have. Immediately upon denying an application for any of the reasons in this section, the registrar shall enter a final order together with his findings and certify the same to the motor vehicle salvage dealer's licensing board. 

An applicant who has been refused a license may appeal from the action of the registrar to the motor vehicle salvage dealer's licensing board in the manner prescribed in section 4738.12 of the Revised Code.
