§  899-e. Certificate of registration; issuance or denial; renewal. 1. Except as otherwise provided in subdivision two  of  this  section,  the secretary  of  state  shall  issue  a  certificate of registration to an individual who complies with subdivision one of  section  eight  hundred ninety-nine-d  of  this  article  or whose application has been accepted under subdivision two of section eight  hundred  ninety-nine-d  of  this article.   2.  The  secretary  of  state  may  refuse  to  issue a certificate of registration if the secretary of state determines that the applicant has engaged in  conduct  that  has  a  significant  adverse  effect  on  the applicant's   fitness  to  act  as  an  athlete  agent.  In  making  the determination, the secretary of state may consider whether the applicant has:  (a) been convicted of a crime that, if committed in this state,  would be a crime involving moral turpitude or a felony;  (b)  made  a  materially  false,  misleading,  deceptive or fraudulent representation in the application or as an athlete agent;  (c) engaged in  conduct  that  would  disqualify  the  applicant  from serving in a fiduciary capacity;  (d)   engaged   in   conduct   prohibited  by  section  eight  hundred ninety-nine-l of this article;  (e) had a registration or licensure as  an  athlete  agent  suspended, revoked  or denied, or been refused renewal of registration or licensure as an athlete agent in any state;  (f) engaged in conduct the consequence of which was that  a  sanction, suspension   or  declaration  of  ineligibility  to  participate  in  an interscholastic or intercollegiate  athletic  event  was  imposed  on  a student-athlete or educational institution; or  (g)  engaged  in  conduct that significantly adversely reflects on the applicant's credibility, honesty or integrity.   3. In making a determination under subdivision two  of  this  section, the  secretary  of state shall consider the factors set forth in article twenty-three of the correction law.   4. An athlete agent may apply to renew a registration by submitting an application for renewal in such form  as  shall  be  prescribed  by  the secretary  of state. An application filed pursuant to this section shall be a public record. The application for renewal shall be signed  by  the applicant under penalty of perjury and shall contain current information on all matters required in an original registration.   5.  An  individual  who  has  submitted  an application for renewal of registration or licensure in another state, in  lieu  of  submitting  an application  for  renewal in the form prescribed pursuant to subdivision four of this section, may file a copy of the application for renewal and a valid certificate of registration or licensure from the  other  state. The secretary of state shall accept the application for renewal from the other  state  as  an  application  for  renewal  in  this  state  if the application to the other state:  (a) was submitted in the other state within six months next  preceding the  filing  in  this  state and the applicant certifies the information contained in the application for renewal is current;  (b)  contains   information   substantially   similar   to   or   more comprehensive than that required in an application for renewal submitted in this state; and  (c) was signed by the applicant under penalty of perjury.   6.  A certificate of registration or a renewal of a registration shall be valid for two years.
