Sec. 20-559e. Certificate of registration; issuance or denial; renewal. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, the Commissioner of Consumer Protection shall issue a certificate of registration to an individual who complies with subsection
(a) of section 20-559d or whose application has been accepted under subsection (b) of
section 20-559d.
(b) The Commissioner of Consumer Protection may refuse to issue a certificate of
registration if the commissioner determines that the applicant has engaged in conduct
that has a significant adverse effect on the applicant's fitness to act as an athlete agent.
In making the determination, the commissioner may consider whether the applicant has:
(1) Been convicted of a crime that, if committed in this state, would be a felony;
(2) Made a materially false, misleading, deceptive or fraudulent representation in
the application or as an athlete agent;
(3) Engaged in conduct that would disqualify the applicant from serving in a fiduciary capacity;
(4) Engaged in conduct prohibited by section 20-559m;
(5) Had a registration or licensure as an athlete agent suspended, revoked or denied
or been refused renewal of registration or licensure as an athlete agent in any state;
(6) Engaged in conduct the consequence of which was that a sanction, suspension
or declaration of ineligibility to participate in an interscholastic or intercollegiate athletic
event was imposed on a student-athlete or educational institution; or
(7) Engaged in conduct that significantly adversely reflects on the applicant's credibility, honesty or integrity.
(c) In making a determination under subsection (b) of this section, the Commissioner of Consumer Protection shall consider:
(1) How recently the conduct occurred;
(2) The nature of the conduct and the context in which it occurred; and
(3) Any other relevant conduct of the applicant.
(d) An athlete agent may apply to renew a registration by filing an application for
renewal in a form prescribed by the Commissioner of Consumer Protection. The application for renewal shall be signed by the applicant under penalty of perjury and shall
contain current information on all matters required in an original registration.
(e) An individual who has filed an application for renewal of registration or licensure
in another state, in lieu of submitting an application for renewal in the form prescribed
pursuant to subsection (d) of this section, may file a copy of the application for renewal
and a valid certificate of registration or licensure from the other state. The Commissioner
of Consumer Protection shall accept the application for renewal from the other state as
an application for renewal in this state if the application to the other state:
(1) Was submitted in the other state within six months next preceding the filing in
this state and the applicant certifies the information contained in the application for
renewal is current;
(2) Contains information substantially similar to or more comprehensive than that
required in an application for renewal submitted in this state; and
(3) Was signed by the applicant under penalty of perjury.
(f) A certificate of registration or a renewal of a registration is valid for two years.
