Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1,
				2024
(a) An application
				for a navigator entity registration shall be on a form provided by the
				Commissioner and shall be accompanied by a fee of Fifty Dollars ($50.00). This
				fee shall be deemed earned and not refundable if the application is denied,
				withdrawn, cancelled, or refused for any reason by either the applicant or the
				Commissioner. Subject to the OID's ability to accept electronic applications,
				all applicants for a navigator entity registration shall apply
				electronically.
(b) The navigator
				entity registration shall continue in force no longer than twelve (12) months
				from the month of issuance. If the navigator entity fails to timely apply for
				renewal of its registration or fails to pay any applicable fees or outstanding
				fines by the last day of the month in which the license was originally issued,
				the registration shall expire automatically and the navigator entity shall be
				required to apply for a registration in the same manner as an initial navigator
				entity registration application.
(c) Upon filing a navigator entity
				registration renewal application on a form provided by the Commissioner, and
				upon payment of a renewal fee of Fifty Dollars ($50.00), a renewal registration
				shall be issued by the Commissioner to a navigator entity registrant which has
				continuously maintained such registration.
(d) In the event that the Commissioner
				declines to issue or renew a navigator entity registration for any of the
				reasons provided by law, the Commissioner shall notify the entity of such
				declination and advise the entity, in writing, of the reason for the denial or
				nonrenewal of the navigator entity registration. The entity may make written
				demand upon the Commissioner within thirty (30) days of the date of
				notification by the Commissioner for a hearing before the Commissioner or an
				independent hearing examiner appointed by the Commissioner to determine the
				existence of the grounds for the Commissioner's action. The hearing shall be
				held within a reasonable time period pursuant to the Oklahoma Administrative
				Procedures Act.
(e) After notice
				and opportunity for hearing, and upon determining that a navigator entity has
				violated any of the provisions of Title 36 of the Oklahoma Statutes, or any
				rules promulgated by the Commissioner, the Commissioner or his or her duly
				appointed hearing examiner may suspend or revoke the navigator entity's
				registration.
(f) After notice and
				opportunity for hearing, and upon determining that a navigator entity has
				allowed an individual who is employed or overseen by the navigator entity to
				interact with individuals or employer groups while performing any of the
				functions of a navigator without an active registration, the Commissioner or
				his or her duly appointed hearing examiner may assess a civil penalty as set
				out by 36 O.S. §
									1415.3.
