Section 535D.6 - Conditions of licensure.

535D.6 Conditions of licensure.
An applicant for licensure as a mortgage loan originator shall demonstrate qualifications as follows:
1. The applicant has never had a mortgage loan originator license revoked in any governmental jurisdiction, except that a subsequent formal vacation of such revocation shall not be deemed a revocation.
2. The applicant has not been convicted of, or pled guilty or no contest to, a felony in a domestic, foreign, or military court during the seven-year period preceding the date of the application for licensure; or at any time preceding such date of application, if such felony involved an act of fraud, dishonesty, or a breach of trust, or money laundering. A pardon of a conviction shall not constitute a conviction for purposes of this subsection.
3. The applicant has demonstrated financial responsibility, character, and general fitness such as to command the confidence of the community and to warrant a determination that the applicant will operate honestly, fairly, and efficiently within the purposes of this chapter. For purposes of this subsection, a person has shown that the person is not financially responsible when the person has shown a disregard in the management of their own financial condition. The superintendent shall not deny a license on the sole basis of an applicant’s credit score. A determination that an individual has not shown financial responsibility may include but not be limited to current outstanding judgments, except judgments solely as a result of medical expenses; current outstanding tax liens or other government liens or filings; foreclosures within the past three years; or a pattern of seriously delinquent accounts within the past three years.
4. The applicant has completed the prelicensing education requirements pursuant to section 535D.7.
5. The applicant has passed a written test that meets the requirements of section 535D.8.
6. The applicant has met the surety bond requirement or paid into a recovery fund as required pursuant to section 535D.14.
7. There are no other grounds to deny the applicant a license pursuant to rules adopted by the superintendent. Such rules may include discretionary grounds for license denial.
