§ 1-01.1 Applications.

RCNY § 1-01.1

(a)All applicants for a license or a license renewal must provide complete and truthful responses to all the information requested on an application for such license or license renewal and any related documents.

(b)No applicant for a license or a license renewal shall conceal any information, make a false statement or falsify or allow to be falsified any certificate, form, signed statement, application or report required to be filed with an application for a license or license renewal to be issued by the department.

(c)Unless otherwise provided by law or rule, no applicant for a license or renewal thereof, or licensee, including the general partners, officers, directors, members, and principal stockholders of such applicant or licensee, whose application or renewal thereof is denied or whose license is revoked by the Department may submit a new application for the same license for a period of 12 months from the date the initial application or renewal was denied or the license was revoked. This subsection shall only apply if the initial application or renewal was denied, or the license was revoked, because the applicant or licensee concealed information, made a false statement, or falsified or allowed to be falsified any certificate, form, signed statement, application or report required to be filed with an application for a license that is to be issued by the Department or for a renewal thereof.

(d)The commissioner may deny any license application or refuse to renew any license, and may, after due notice and opportunity to be heard, suspend or revoke such license, if the applicant or person holding such license, or where applicable, any of its officers, principals, directors, members, managers, employees, or stockholders owning ten percent or more of the outstanding stock of the corporation, has been found to have violated subdivisions a or b of this section in connection with the application or licensed business.
