Section 361-A:2-a License Surrender.
I. (a) A licensee who ceases to engage in the business of a sales finance company or retail seller at any time during a license year for any cause, including but not limited to bankruptcy, license revocation or voluntary dissolution, shall surrender such license in person or by registered or certified mail to the commissioner within 15 calendar days of such cessation.
(b) Withdrawal of the surrendered license becomes effective 30 days after receipt of the license by the commissioner or within such shorter period of time as the commissioner may determine, unless a revocation or suspension proceeding is pending when the withdrawal is filed or a proceeding to revoke or suspend or to impose conditions upon the withdrawal is instituted within 30 days after the license is surrendered. If a proceeding is pending or instituted, withdrawal becomes effective at such time and upon such conditions as the commissioner by order determines. If no proceeding is pending or instituted and withdrawal automatically becomes effective, the commissioner may nevertheless institute a revocation or suspension proceeding under RSA 361-A:3 within one year after the withdrawal became effective and may enter a revocation or suspension order as of the last date on which the license was effective.
II. Failure to comply with the provisions of this section and rules adopted under this section shall be cause for denial of future license applications and the imposition of penalties under RSA 361-A:11.
