In addition to any other powers imposed upon the commissioner by law, the commissioner is authorized to require persons subject to this chapter to be licensed through a multi-state automated licensing system. Pursuant to this authority, the commissioner may:
Promulgate whatever rules and regulations are reasonably necessary for participation in, transition to or operation of a multi-state automated licensing system;
Establish relationships or enter into agreements that are reasonably necessary for participation in, transition to, or operation of a multi-state automated licensing system. The agreements may include, but are not limited to, operating agreements, information sharing agreements, interstate cooperative agreements, and technology licensing agreements;
Require that applications for licensing under this chapter and renewals of such licenses be filed with a multi-state automated licensing system;
Require that any fees required to be paid under this chapter be paid through a multi-state automated licensing system;
Establish deadlines for transitioning licensees to a multi-state automated licensing system. The commissioner has the authority to deny any applications or renewal applications not filed with a multi-state automated licensing system after such deadlines have passed, notwithstanding any dates established elsewhere in this chapter. The commissioner shall, however, provide reasonable notice of any transition deadlines to licensees; and
Take such further actions as are reasonably necessary to give effect to this section.
Nothing in this section shall authorize the commissioner to require a person who is not subject to this chapter to submit information to, or to participate in, a multi-state automated licensing system that is operated or participated in pursuant to this chapter.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the commissioner retains full authority and discretion to license persons under this chapter and to enforce this chapter to its fullest extent. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to be a reduction or derogation of that authority and discretion.
Applicants for, and holders of, licenses issued under this chapter shall pay all costs associated with submitting an application to or transitioning a license to a multi-state automated licensing system, as well as all costs required by a multi-state automated licensing system for maintaining and renewing any license issued by the commissioner on a multi-state automated licensing system.
