17-12a406. Registration by broker-dealer, agent, investment adviser and investment adviser representative. (a) Application for initial registration. A person shall register as a broker-dealer, agent, investment adviser, or investment adviser representative by filing an application and a consent to service of process complying with K.S.A. 17-12a611, and amendments thereto, and paying the fee specified in K.S.A. 17-12a410, and amendments thereto, and any reasonable fees charged by the designee of the administrator for processing the filing. The application must contain: (1) The information or record required for the filing of a uniform application; and (2) upon request by the administrator, any other financial or other information or record that the administrator determines is appropriate. (b) Amendment. If the information or record contained in an application filed under subsection (a) is or becomes inaccurate or incomplete in a material respect, the registrant shall promptly file a correcting amendment. (c) Effectiveness of registration. If the administrator finds that the applicant and, if applicable, the officers, directors or partners of the applicant are of sufficient character and reputation to warrant the public trust, and an order is not in effect and a proceeding is not pending under K.S.A. 17-12a412, and amendments thereto, registration becomes effective at noon on the 45th day after a completed application is filed, unless the registration is denied or the administrator has given written notice of deficiencies that are unresolved and that would constitute grounds for denial under K.S.A. 17-12a412, and amendments thereto. A rule adopted or order issued under this act may set an earlier effective date or may defer the effective date until noon on the 45th day after the filing of any amendment completing the application. (d) Registration renewal. A registration is effective until midnight on December 31 of the year for which the application for registration is filed. Unless an order is in effect under K.S.A. 17-12a412, and amendments thereto, a registration may be automatically renewed each year by filing such records as are required by rule adopted or order issued under this act, by paying the fee specified in K.S.A. 17-12a410, and amendments thereto, and by paying costs charged by the designee of the administrator for processing the filings. (e) Additional conditions or waivers. A rule adopted or order issued under this act may impose other conditions not inconsistent with the national securities markets improvement act of 1996. An order issued under this act may waive, in whole or in part, specific requirements in connection with registration as are in the public interest and for the protection of investors. |
