(f)The applicant has failed to satisfy any enforceable judgment entered by the circuit court in any civil proceedings against such applicant; or
(g)The applicant has conducted or is about to conduct its business in a fraudulent manner; or
(h)The applicant or any individual listed in the license application has conducted or is about to conduct any business on behalf of the applicant in a fraudulent manner; or has been convicted of a felony or any misdemeanor of which an essential element is fraud; or has been involved in any civil litigation in which a judgment has been entered against him or her based on fraud; or has failed to satisfy any enforceable judgment entered by the circuit court in any civil proceedings against such individual; or has been convicted of any felony of which fraud is an essential element; or has been convicted of any theft-related offense; or has failed to comply with the requirements of this Act; or has demonstrated a pattern of improperly failing to honor a contract with a consumer; or
(i)The applicant has ever had a license involving cemeteries or funeral homes revoked, suspended, or refused to be issued in Illinois or elsewhere.
If the Comptroller so determines, then he or she shall conduct a hearing to determine whether to deny the application. However, no application shall be denied unless the applicant has had at least 10 days' notice of a hearing on the application and an opportunity to be heard thereon. If the application is denied, the Comptroller shall within 20 days thereafter prepare and keep on file in his or her office the transcript of the evidence taken and a written order of denial thereof, which shall contain his or her findings with respect thereto and the reasons supporting the denial, and shall send by United States mail a copy of the written order of denial to the applicant at the address set forth in the application, within 5 days after the filing of such order.
A review of such decision may be had as provided in Section 20 of this Act.
The license issued by the Comptroller shall remain in full force and effect until it is surrendered by the licensee or revoked by the Comptroller as hereinafter provided.
