This law allows the director to deny a license if the applicant has lied on their application, been convicted of a crime, committed dishonest acts, had a prior license refused or revoked, or been involved in such actions through their role in a business. However, the denial can only occur if these issues are closely related to the job's duties. If denied, the applicant will get a written explanation and have 30 days to request a hearing. Importantly, a person with a felony conviction who has a rehabilitation certificate, or a misdemeanor conviction who meets certain rehabilitation criteria, cannot be denied a license solely based on these convictions.

This law outlines how the chief evaluates whether someone should be given, denied, or have a license or registration suspended or revoked. It considers factors like the nature of the applicant's crime, their entire criminal history, any new offenses, how much time has passed since the offense, and whether they've met conditions like probation or parole. It also involves looking at any evidence of rehabilitation the applicant submits. These same criteria are used when someone petitions to have a license or registration reinstated.

If a locksmith is convicted of a crime that is closely related to their job duties, their license is automatically suspended. This happens when the licensing bureau sends them a notice of conviction and suspension to their registered address. The notice will explain that the crime is connected to their professional responsibilities. This law aims to quickly suspend such licenses to protect public safety and security.

This law allows a bureau to suspend or revoke licenses for locksmiths and similar professions if they engage in certain unlawful acts. These acts include lying or hiding important information on a license application, interfering with enforcement officers, using their skills to commit crimes, being convicted of a relevant crime, or breaking rules related to their profession. If these acts are carried out by officers in a corporation or partners in a partnership, the business's license can also be affected.

If someone has a record of being convicted of a crime, or a certified copy of that record, it is taken as undeniable proof that the conviction happened.

This law section explains that if the bureau wants to deny, revoke, or suspend a license, they must follow specific procedures outlined in a different part of the Government Code. Basically, there's a set way to handle these situations to ensure fairness and consistency.

If a business operating as a corporation in California is not registered or in good standing with the Secretary of State and the Franchise Tax Board, its license can be automatically suspended.
