address of each person it desires to appoint to act as a representative
in this State. Such written notice shall be accompanied by an initial
registration fee of five dollars. If it appears to the Commissioner that
the appointee is a suitable and competent person of good moral
character, intends to hold himself or herself out in good faith as a
representative and has not previously been refused registration or
had a registration revoked pursuant to subsection (b) of this section,
and provided the appointee qualifies under the provisions of this
section, the Commissioner shall issue to such appointee a registration
certificate which shall state, in substance, that the individual named
therein is a registered representative of such licensee in this State.

(b)   The notice referred to in subsection (a) above shall be upon
.a form furnished by the Commissioner and shall be accompanied by
a statement in writing, by the appointee, which shall give his or
her name, age, residence, business and residence address, present
occupation, occupation for the five years next preceding the date of
this notice, name of motor clubs represented during such period and
where represented, and such other information, if any, as the Com-
missioner may require.

(c)  If at any time, for cause shown, and after a hearing, the
Commissioner shall determine that any registered representative or
any person so appointed as such representative, has made any false
or misleading statement concerning the services offered or the busi-
ness of the licensee represented by him, has been convicted of a
crime involving moral turpitude or is otherwise unsuitable to act
as a representative, he shall thereupon refuse to issue or shall revoke
such registration and notify both the licensee and the appointee of
such refusal or revocation in writing, unless the Commissioner shall
conclude that the public interest would not be served thereby under
all the facts and circumstances then appearing. Any representative
adversely affected by a determination of the Commissioner shall
have a right to seek judicial review of such determination under the
provisions and limitations of Section 40 of Article 48A.

(d)  In the event that a licensee cancels a representative's author-
ity to act for it, written notice of such cancellation shall be imme-
diately given to the Commissioner.

(e)   Unless revoked by the Commissioner or unless the licensee by
written notice to the Commissioner cancels the representative's
authority to act for it, such registration of a representative or any
renewal thereof shall expire on the thirty-first day of August next
after its issue and may be renewed annually upon filing with the
Commissioner an annual notice by the licensee, which notice shall
be accompanied by the payment of a two dollar registration fee.

(f)   While a representative's registration remains in force, a li-
censee shall be bound by the acts of the individual named therein
within his or her apparent or actual authority.

(g)  It shall be unlawful for any person to act as a representative
of a licensee without being registered under this section, or to act
as a salesman, solicitor or representative of an unlicensed motor
club doing business in this State.
