been engaged for the year next preceding the date of the appli-

information as the Insurance Commissioner may require of
applicants to enable him to determine their trustworthiness
and competency to transact the business of public adjuster or

interests of the public.

(g) The Insurance Commissioner shall in order to determine
the trustworthiness and competency of such applicant for a
certificate of authority to act as a public adjuster or public
adjuster solicitor, require such applicant to submit to a
written examination.

(h) An application for an adjuster's certificate of author-

by a partnership or association, by each member thereof and
if made by a corporation by each officer and director thereof
to be authorized thereby to act as an adjuster.

(i) A corporation, association or partnership to which a

(4) has demonstrated his incompetency or untrustworthiness
to transact the business of a public adjuster, or public adjuster

certificate for such length of time as he may think proper;
provided, however, that before any such action shall be taken
by the Commissioner he shall give the applicant or holder of
the certificate, as the case may be, ten days' written notice of
the charges preferred against him and an opportunity to be
heard thereon. The final action of the Commissioner in reject-
