141.29 REVOCATION OF LICENSE OR PERMIT.
    Subdivision 1. Grounds. The office may, after notice and upon providing an opportunity for
a hearing, under chapter 14 if requested by the parties adversely affected, refuse to issue, refuse to
renew, revoke, or suspend a license or solicitor's permit for any of the following grounds:
(1) violation of any provisions of sections 141.21 to 141.35 or any rule adopted by the office;
(2) furnishing to the office false, misleading, or incomplete information;
(3) presenting to prospective students information relating to the school that is false,
fraudulent, deceptive, substantially inaccurate, or misleading;
(4) refusal to allow reasonable inspection or supply reasonable information after written
request by the office;
(5) the existence of any circumstance that would be grounds for the refusal of an initial or
renewal license under section 141.25.
    Subd. 2. Appeal. Any order refusing, revoking, or suspending a school's license or a
solicitor's permit is appealable in accordance with chapter 14. Where a school has been operating
and its license has been revoked, suspended, or refused by the office, the order is not effective
until the final determination of the appeal unless immediate effect is ordered by the court.
    Subd. 3. Powers and duties. The office shall have (in addition to the powers and duties now
vested therein by law) the following powers and duties:
(a) To negotiate and enter into interstate reciprocity agreements with similar agencies in
other states, if in the judgment of the office such agreements are or will be helpful in effectuating
the purposes of Laws 1973, chapter 714;
(b) To grant conditional school license for periods of less than one year if in the judgment
of the office correctable deficiencies exist at the time of application and when refusal to issue
school license would adversely affect currently enrolled students;
(c) The office may upon its own motion, and shall upon the verified complaint in writing of
any person setting forth fact which, if proved, would constitute grounds for refusal or revocation
under Laws 1973, chapter 714, investigate the actions of any applicant or any person or persons
holding or claiming to hold a license or permit. However, before proceeding to a hearing on the
question of whether a license or permit shall be refused, revoked or suspended for any cause
enumerated in subdivision 1, the office shall grant a reasonable time to the holder of or applicant
for a license or permit to correct the situation. If within such time the situation is corrected and the
school is in compliance with the provisions of this chapter, no further action leading to refusal,
revocation, or suspension shall be taken.
