184.26 APPLICATION; LICENSING.
    Subdivision 1. Agent's license; written application. Every applicant for an employment
agent's license or a renewal thereof shall file with the department a written application stating the
name and address of the applicant, the street and number of the building in which the business
of the employment agent is to be conducted, the name of the person who is to have the general
management of the office, the name under which the business of the office is to be carried on,
whether or not the applicant is pecuniarily interested in any other business of a like nature and, if
so, where. Such application shall also state whether the applicant is the only person pecuniarily
interested in the business to be carried on under the license, and shall be signed by the applicant
and sworn to before a notary public and shall identify anyone holding over 20 percent interest
in the agency or receiving any percentage of the profits. If the applicant is a corporation, the
application shall state the names and addresses of the officers and directors of the corporation,
and shall be signed and sworn to by the president and secretary thereof. If the applicant is a
partnership, the application shall also state the names and addresses of all partners therein, and
shall be signed and sworn to by all of them. The application shall also state whether or not the
applicant is, at the time of making application, or has at any previous time been engaged in or
interested in, or employed by anyone engaged in the business of an employment agent, either
in this state or any other, and, if so, when and where. Every applicant for a license to engage in
the business of an employment agent shall, at the time of making application for said license,
file with the department a schedule of the fees or charges to be collected by such employment
agency for any services rendered, together with all rules and regulations that may in any way
affect the fees charged or to be charged for any service. Such fees and such rules or regulations
may thereafter be changed by filing an amended or supplemental schedule showing such charges,
with the department. Such schedule of fees and charges shall contain all information concerning
financing the payment of the same including the rate of interest charged as well as any other
service or carrying charges or costs. It shall be unlawful for any employment agency to charge,
demand, collect, or receive a greater compensation for any service performed than is specified
in such schedule filed with the department.
    Subd. 2. Counselor's license; written application. Every applicant for a license for
counselor or a renewal thereof shall file with the department a written application stating the name
and address of the applicant, the kind of license desired, the name of the employment agency
by whom such applicant will be employed if granted a license, the address where such agency
conducts its business, whether or not the applicant is pecuniarily interested in the business of the
employment agency by which the applicant shall be employed or of any other employment agency
and if so the name and address of such agency or agencies as well as a description of such interest.
The application shall also state whether or not the applicant is at the time of making application or
has at any previous time been engaged or interested in or employed by an employment agency
either in this state or any other and if so, when and where.
    Subd. 3. Requirements for license. An applicant for an employment agency's license shall
be a citizen of the United States or resident alien and shall be at least 18 years of age. An applicant
for a counselor's license shall be at least 18 years of age.
    Subd. 4. Manager's license. No employment agent's license shall be issued or a renewal
thereof granted to a firm, partnership, corporation, or association unless all the members,
shareholders, directors, or officers thereof who will actively engage in the business of the
employment agent, shall have obtained an employment agency manager's license.
    Subd. 5. Prerequisites. As a prerequisite to the granting of an employment agent's license to
any firm, partnership, corporation, or association, an applicant therefor shall designate which of
its members, shareholders, officers or directors are or shall be actively engaged in the business
of the employment agency who, upon compliance with the terms of sections 184.21 to 184.40
shall, upon issuance of said employment agent's license, be entitled to perform all of the acts of an
employment agent contemplated by sections 184.21 to 184.40.
Each such member, shareholder, director, or officer so designated, however, must make
application for an employment agency manager's license, which application shall accompany
the application for the employment agent's license for the firm, partnership, corporation, or
association and be filed with the department at the same time as the application of the firm,
partnership, corporation, or association for a license.
In the event any person becomes an active designated member, shareholder, officer, or
director of a firm, partnership, corporation, or association after the issuance of an employment
agent's license thereto, the person shall as a prerequisite to becoming such an active member,
or shareholder, officer, or director procure an employment agency manager's license as herein
provided.
