or documents.

   Every application for an alarm company operator license shall

state, among other things that may be required, the name of the

applicant with the name under which the applicant will do business,

and the location by street and number, and city of the office of the

business for which the license is sought.  All information obtained

Title 1.8 of Part 4 of Division 3 of the Civil Code) and shall not be

released to the public except for the registrant's full name, the

this section shall preclude the release of information to the public

regarding the status of an operator's license, or the release of

information to law enforcement agencies or other governmental

agencies for other authorized purposes.

   No license shall be issued in any fictitious name which may be

confused with or which is similar to any federal, state, county, or

municipal governmental function or agency or to any law enforcement

function or enterprise not actually engaged in by the applicant.

partner of a partnership, and designated officers of a corporation

shall submit with the application, one personal identification form

provided by the chief upon which shall appear a photograph taken

within one year immediately preceding the date of the filing of the

such person, respectively.  The identification form shall include

residence addresses and employment history for the previous five

years.

   (b) The bureau may impose a fee not to exceed three dollars ($3)

for processing classifiable fingerprint cards submitted by applicants

excluding those submitted into an electronic fingerprint system

using electronic fingerprint technology.

7593.2.  If the applicant for license is an individual, the

application shall state the full name of the individual, the full

residence address of the applicant, and that the applicant is to be

personally and actively in charge of the  business for which the

license is sought; or if any other qualified manager is to  be

actively in charge of the business, the application shall so state

and set forth the name of that person.  The application shall be

subscribed, verified, and signed by the applicant, under penalty of

perjury.

7593.3.  If the applicants for license are copartners, the

application shall state the true names and addresses of all the

general partners and the name of the partner to be actively in charge

of the business for which the license is sought; or if a qualified

manager other than a partner is to be actively in charge of the

business then the application shall state the name and address of

that person.  The application shall be subscribed, verified, and

signed under penalty of perjury by all of the general partners.

7593.4.  If the applicant for license is a corporation, the

application shall state the true names and complete residence

addresses of the chief executive officer, secretary, chief financial

officer, and any other corporate officer who will be active in the

business to be licensed.  A copy of the articles of incorporation

issued by the Secretary of State shall be supplied to the bureau upon

request.  The application shall also state the name and address of

the designated person to be actively in charge of the business for

which the license is sought.  The application shall be subscribed,

verified, and signed by a duly authorized officer of the applicant

under penalty of perjury.

7593.6.  The director may refuse to issue a license to any applicant

pending final disposition of any investigation of criminal activity

or of any disciplinary action previously filed against the person or

applicant or against any qualified manager, partner, or officer of

the applicant.

   A new alarm company operator license, qualified manager

certificate, or alarm agent registration shall be subject to payment

of any and all fines assessed pursuant to this section and not

resolved in accordance with the provisions of this section and

payment of all applicable fees.

7593.7.  The chief shall issue a pocket identification card to the

owner, partners, officers, and qualified manager.  The chief shall

determine the form and content of the card.  A photo identification

card will be furnished to any owner, partner, officer, qualified

manager, or branch office manager upon written request and payment of

the fee prescribed by this chapter.

7593.8.  The director shall issue a license, the form and content of

which shall be determined in accordance with Section 164.  In

addition, the director shall issue a "Certificate of Licensure" to

any licensee, upon request, with the fee prescribed in this chapter.

A "certificate of licensure" shall include an embossed seal of the

State of California and the signature of the chief or his or her

designated representative.

7593.9.  Each alarm company operator license, together with the

current renewal certificate, if any, shall at all times be

conspicuously displayed at the place of business for which the

license is issued.

7593.11.  An alarm company operator license issued under this

chapter expires two years following the date of issuance or on the

assigned renewal date.  Every alarm company operator issued a license

under this chapter that expires on or after January 1, 1997, and who

is also issued or renews a firearms qualification card on or after

January 1, 1997, shall be placed on a cyclical renewal so that the

license expires on the expiration date of the firearms qualification

card.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the bureau is

authorized to extend or shorten the first term of licensure following

January 1, 1997, and to prorate the required license fee in order to

implement this cyclical renewal.  To renew an unexpired license or

certificate, the licensee shall apply for renewal on a form

prescribed by the director, pay all fines assessed pursuant to

Section 7591.9 and not resolved in accordance with the provisions of

that section, and pay the renewal fee.  On renewal, evidence of

renewal of the license or certificate that the director may prescribe

shall be issued to the licensee.  The bureau shall send to each

licensee a notice of renewal at least 45 calendar days prior to the

expiration of each license.

7593.12.  An alarm company operator's license not renewed within

three years following its expiration may not be renewed thereafter.

Renewal of the license within one year, or issuance of an original

license thereafter, shall be subject to payment of any and all fines

assessed pursuant to Section 7591.9 and not resolved in accordance

with the provisions of that section and payment of all applicable

fees.

7593.13.  A suspended alarm company operator license is subject to

expiration and shall be renewed as provided in this article, but

renewal of the license does not entitle the licensee, while the

license remains suspended and until it is  reinstated, to engage in

the licensed activity, or in any other activity or conduct in

violation of the order or judgment by which the license was

suspended.

7593.14.  An alarm company operator whose license has been canceled

pursuant to this article, may obtain a new license only upon

compliance with all of the provisions of this chapter relating to the

issuance of an initial license.
