2023 Connecticut General Statutes › Title 29 - Public Safety and State Police › Chapter 533a - Bail Enforcement Agents › Section 29-152i. - Suspension, revocation or nonrenewal of license.

The Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection may suspend, revoke or refuse to renew the license of any bail enforcement agent, provided notice shall have been given to the licensee to appear before the commissioner to show cause why the license should not be suspended, revoked or refused renewal, upon a finding by the commissioner that: (1) The licensee has violated any of the terms or provisions of sections 29-152e to 29-152m, inclusive, or section 38a-660a or any of the regulations adopted under section 29-152o; (2) the licensee has practiced fraud, deceit or misrepresentation; (3) the licensee has made a material misstatement in the application for issuance or renewal of such license; (4) the licensee has demonstrated incompetence or untrustworthiness in the conduct of the licensee's business; (5) the licensee is subject to a restraining or protective order issued by a court in a case involving the use, attempted use or threatened use of physical force against another person; (6) the licensee has been convicted of a felony, a misdemeanor specified in section 29-152f, or other crime affecting the licensee's honesty, integrity or moral fitness; or (7) the licensee is unsuitable. The suspension or revocation of, or the refusal to renew, any bail enforcement agent's license shall also constitute the revocation of the bail enforcement agent's firearms permit issued pursuant to section 29-152m. Any bail enforcement agent who fails to surrender such license within five days of notification in writing of the suspension or revocation of, or refusal to renew, such license shall be guilty of a class C misdemeanor. Any party aggrieved by an order of the commissioner under this section may appeal therefrom in accordance with the provisions of section 4-183, except venue for such appeal shall be in the judicial district of Hartford.
