The commissioner may, without hearing, deny an application if the applicant has done one or more of the following:
(a) (1) Been convicted of a felony.
(2) Been convicted of a misdemeanor denounced by this code or by other laws regulating insurance.
(3) A judgment, plea, or verdict of guilty, or a plea of nolo contendere is deemed to be a conviction within the meaning of this subdivision.
(b) Had a previous application for a professional, occupational, or vocational license denied for cause by any licensing authority, within five years of the date of the filing of the application to be acted upon, on grounds that should preclude the granting of a license by the commissioner under this chapter.
(c) Had a previously issued professional, occupational, or vocational license suspended or revoked for cause by any licensing authority, within five years of the date of the filing of the application to be acted upon, on grounds that should preclude the granting of a license by the commissioner under this chapter.
In the event the commissioner issues an order based on a plea that does not at any time result in a judgment of conviction, the commissioner shall vacate the order upon petition by the applicant.
