§ 11-13 Application for a Wholesale Trade Association Registration.
RCNY § 11-13
(a)An application for a wholesale trade association registration pursuant to § 22-265 of the Code, or for a renewal of such registration, shall be made on a form prescribed by the Commission. The application shall be certified under penalty of perjury and signed by an officer of the applicant. The application shall include, but be not limited to, the following information: (1) the names of all members of such association; (2) the names of all persons holding office in such association; and (3) any criminal or civil investigation by a federal, state, or local prosecutorial, investigative or regulatory agency.
(b)An officer of a wholesale trade association required to be registered with the Commission pursuant to § 22-265 of the Code shall submit the information required by § 22-265(b) of the Code on a form provided by the Commission.
(c)Notwithstanding any provision of this subchapter, when there is reasonable cause to believe that an officer of the trade association does not possess good character, honesty and integrity, the Commission may require that such officer be fingerprinted by a person designated for such purpose by the Commission, pay the fee prescribed by the Division of Criminal Justice Services for the purpose of obtaining criminal history records, and provide to the Commission the disclosure required by the form provided by the Commission. The Commission also may require such additional information, in lieu of or in addition to such fingerprinting and/or disclosure, including without limitation documents and an in-person interview, as the Commission determines is appropriate and reasonable to render a determination.
(d)After providing notice and opportunity to be heard, the Commission may disqualify an officer from holding office in a wholesale trade association based on the grounds set forth in subdivision c of § 22-265 of the Code and in accordance with the procedure for such disqualification set forth in such subdivision.
(e)If an application for the renewal of a registration is not submitted to the Commission within the time period required by the Commission, the Commission may reject the renewal application and require the applicant to file a new application for a wholesale trade association registration. If a new application is required by the Commission, the provisions pertaining to the application process as set forth in Chapter 1-B of Title 22 of the Code and of this subchapter shall govern.
