536A.11 Denial of license.
1. If the superintendent shall not approve the application, the superintendent shall prepare a written denial of the application with a written finding of facts which shall be sent by certified mail to the applicant. Within fifteen days after mailing of notice of the denial of its application, the applicant may file with the superintendent a written demand for a hearing on the application. Upon such demand being made, the superintendent must within thirty days hold a formal hearing at the superintendent’s office in Des Moines, Iowa, notice of the time of which hearing shall be given by the superintendent to the applicant by mail within fifteen days after the filing of the written demand by the applicant. Notice of the time and place of hearing shall also be given by the superintendent to all corporations holding licenses to engage in the industrial loan business in the county where the applicant proposes to establish its business and notice of said time and place of hearing shall be published pursuant to section 618.14.
2. At the formal hearing after the original denial of the license by the superintendent, the applicant shall be entitled to present evidence in support of the application. The superintendent shall then grant or deny the application for a license within thirty days from the date of the formal hearing and give notice to the applicant by a decision and finding of facts in writing. If the application for a license is disapproved and a license is denied, the superintendent shall refund the annual license fee which was required to be deposited by section 536A.7 providing the cost of investigation does not exceed the investigation fee. If the cost of investigation exceeds the investigation fee, the excess cost shall be deducted from the license fee before any refund is made.
3. Judicial review of actions of the superintendent may be sought in accordance with the terms of the Iowa administrative procedure Act, chapter 17A.
