complies with section 9A.105, subsection 1, or whose application has
been accepted under section 9A.105, subsection 2.
2. The secretary of state may refuse to issue a certificate of
registration if the secretary of state 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 secretary of state may consider whether the
applicant has done the following:
a. Been convicted of a crime that, if committed in this
state, would be a crime involving moral turpitude or a felony.
b. Made a materially false, misleading, deceptive, or
fraudulent representation in the application or as an athlete agent.
c. Engaged in conduct that would disqualify the applicant
from serving in a fiduciary capacity.
d. Engaged in conduct prohibited by section 9A.114.
e. Had a certificate of registration or licensure as an
athlete agent suspended, revoked, or denied or been refused renewal
of a certificate of registration or licensure as an athlete agent in
any state.
f. Engaged in conduct which resulted in the imposition of a
sanction, suspension, or declaration of ineligibility to participate
in an interscholastic or intercollegiate athletic event on, of, or by
a student athlete or educational institution.
g. Engaged in conduct that significantly adversely reflects
on the applicant's credibility, honesty, or integrity.
3. In making a determination under subsection 2, the secretary of
state shall consider the following:
a. How recently the conduct occurred.
b. The nature of the conduct and the context in which it
occurred.
c. Any other relevant conduct of the applicant.
4. An athlete agent may apply to renew a certificate of
registration by submitting an application for renewal in a form
prescribed by the secretary of state. An application filed under
this section is a public record. The application for renewal must be
signed by the applicant under penalty of perjury and must contain
current information on all matters required in an original
application for registration.
5. An individual who has submitted an application for renewal of
a certificate of registration or licensure in another state, in lieu
of submitting an application for renewal in the form prescribed
pursuant to subsection 4, may file a copy of the application for
renewal and a valid certificate of registration or licensure from the
other state. The secretary of state 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 complies with all of the
following:
a. Was submitted in the other state within the six-month
period immediately preceding the filing in this state and the
applicant certifies the information contained in the application for
renewal in the other state is current.
b. Contains information substantially similar to or more
comprehensive than that required in an application for renewal
submitted in this state.
c. Was signed by the applicant under penalty of perjury.

certificate of registration is valid for two years. Section History: Recent Form
