CO Code § 5-19-211 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 5 - Consumer Credit Code|Article 19 - Debt-Management Services|Part 2 - Uniform Debt-Management Services Act|§ 5-19-211. Renewal of Registration

  A provider shall obtain a renewal of its registration annually before the expiration date of the registration to be renewed, as specified in this section.    An application for renewal of registration as a provider shall be in a form prescribed by the administrator, signed under penalty of false statement, and:   Be filed before the registration expires;    Be accompanied by the fee established by the administrator and the bond required by section 5-19-213;    Contain a financial statement, reviewed by an accountant licensed to conduct audits, for the applicant's fiscal year immediately preceding the application; except that the third renewal after initial registration and every fourth renewal thereafter shall be audited rather than reviewed;    Disclose any changes in the information contained in the applicant's application for registration or its immediately previous application for renewal, as applicable;    Disclose the total amount of money received by the applicant pursuant to plans during the preceding twelve months from or on behalf of individuals who reside in this state and the total amount of money distributed to creditors of those individuals during that period;    If the applicant does not hold money on behalf of any debtor, disclose for business done with debtors in the state of Colorado during the preceding twelve months, the number of debtors with whom the applicant has had agreements, the number of fully settled debt agreements with creditors that applicant concluded for debtors, and an estimate of the total amount of debt under contract between applicant and debtors; and    Provide any other information that the administrator reasonably requires to perform the administrator's duties under this section.       Except for the information required by section 5-19-206 (7), (9), (12), (13), and (15) and the addresses required by section 5-19-206 (4), the administrator shall make the information in an application for renewal of registration as a provider available to the public.    If a registered provider files a timely and complete application for renewal of registration, the registration remains effective until the administrator, in a record, notifies the applicant of a denial and states the reasons for the denial.    If the administrator denies an application for renewal of registration as a provider, the applicant, within thirty days after receiving notice of the denial, may appeal and request a hearing pursuant to article 4 of title 24. Subject to section 5-19-234, while the appeal is pending, the applicant shall continue to provide debt-management services to individuals with whom it has agreements. If the denial is affirmed, subject to the administrator's order and section 5-19-234, the applicant shall continue to provide debt-management services to individuals with whom it has agreements until, with the approval of the administrator, it transfers the agreements to another registered provider or returns to the individuals all unexpended money that is under the applicant's control.    If a registered provider fails to file by July 1 a complete application for renewal of registration and the required renewal fee, the registration shall automatically expire on that date.
