(1) the censure, suspension, or bar is in the public interest;

(2) the person has knowingly committed or caused a violation of this chapter or a regulation adopted under this chapter; and

(3) the violation has caused material damage to the licensee, to the registered depository institution, or to the public.

(b) When a person who is the subject of a proposed order under this section receives a notice of the department's intention to issue an order under this section, the person is immediately prohibited from engaging in any activities for which a license is required under this chapter or for which registration is required under AS 06.60.014.

(c) A person who is suspended or barred under this section is prohibited from participating in a business activity of a licensee or registered depository institution and from engaging in a business activity on the premises where a licensee or registered depository institution is conducting the business of a licensee or registered depository institution.
