Rule 301.
(1) An
				  application for a license under the act and these rules is a request by the
				  applicant seeking a revocable privilege. A license will be granted by the board
				  if the applicant meets the licensing requirements of the act and these
				  rules.
(2) An applicant for a
				  license under the act and these rules shall, at all times, have the burden of
				  demonstrating to the board, by clear and convincing evidence, that the
				  applicant is eligible, qualified, and suitable to be granted and retain the
				  license for which application is made under the applicable licensing standards
				  and requirements of the act and these rules.
(3) A license or certificate of suitability
				  issued by the board under the act or these rules is a revocable privilege
				  granted by the board. A person who holds a license or certificate of
				  suitability does not acquire, and shall not be deemed to acquire, a vested
				  property right or other right, in the license or certificate.
(4) An applicant or licensee shall accept any
				  risk of adverse publicity, public notice, notoriety, embarrassment, criticism,
				  financial loss, or other unfavorable or harmful consequences that may occur in
				  connection with, or as a result of, the application and licensing process or
				  the public disclosure of information submitted to the board with a license
				  application or at the board's request under the act and these rules.
(5) An applicant or licensee may claim any
				  privilege afforded by the Constitution or laws of the United States or of the
				  state of Michigan in refusing to answer questions or provide information
				  requested by the board. However, a claim of privilege with respect to any
				  testimony or evidence pertaining to the eligibility, qualifications, or
				  suitability of an applicant or licensee to be granted or hold a license under
				  the act and these rules may constitute cause for denial, suspension, revocation
				  or restriction of the license.
(6)
				  An applicant and licensee shall have a continuing duty to do all of the
				  following:
(a) Notify the board of a material
				  change in the information submitted in the license application submitted by the
				  applicant or licensee or a change in circumstance, that may render the
				  applicant or licensee ineligible, unqualified, or unsuitable to hold the
				  license under the licensing standards and requirements of the act and these
				  rules.
(b) Maintain the applicant's
				  or licensee's eligibility, qualifications, and suitability to be issued and
				  hold the license held or applied for under the act and these rules.
(c) Provide any information requested by the
				  board relating to licensing or regulation; cooperate with the board in
				  investigations, hearings, and enforcement and disciplinary actions; and comply
				  with all conditions, restrictions, requirements, orders, and rulings of the
				  board in accordance with the act and these rules.
