Official statutory text
Whenever, in the opinion of the commissioner, a person is engaged, either actually or through subterfuge, in the business of making residential mortgage loans, servicing residential mortgage loans, or engaging in business as a mortgage loan originator, without a license from the commissioner, the commissioner may order that person to desist and refrain. If, within 30 days after an order is served, a request for a hearing is filed in writing and the hearing is not held within 60 days of the filing, the order is rescinded. This section does not apply to persons exempted under subdivision (b) of Section 50002.
