(b) The voluntary or involuntary surrender for any cause by the licensee of the license. However, the surrender or cessation of business by the licensee, or the suspension of the corporate charter of the licensee by the state, shall not prevent the filing of an accusation for revocation or suspension of the surrendered license as provided in Section 18058 or the department’s decision that the license should be suspended or revoked. Furthermore, this determination may be considered in granting or refusing to grant any subsequent license authorized by this part to the licensee, copartner, or any officer, director, or stockholder of the prior licensee. (c) Notification that the person designated as licensee has changed. (d) Suspension or cancellation of the corporate charter of the licensee by the state. (e) Failure of a licensee to file an application for renewal for the license or permit before the date of expiration of the current license or permit. (f) Submittal of a check, draft, or money order to the department for a license or license renewal fees due the department which is thereafter dishonored or refused payment upon presentation and which fees and penalty are not thereafter paid by cash, money order, or cashier’s check prior to the expiration of the license.
