(a) Notwithstanding any other law, the commissioner shall examine each licensee that is accepted into the program, and each finder whose services were used by the licensee, at least once every 24 months.
(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), the commissioner shall have the authority to waive one or more branch office examinations, if the commissioner deems that the branch office examinations are not necessary for the protection of the public, due to the centralized operations of the licensee or other factors acceptable to the commissioner.
