(2) Been convicted of a misdemeanor specified by this code or by other laws regulating insurance. (3) A judgment, plea, or verdict of guilty, or a plea of nolo contendere is deemed to be a conviction within the meaning of this subdivision. (b) Had a previous application for a professional, occupational, or vocational license denied for cause by a licensing authority, within five years of the date of the filing of the application to be acted upon, on grounds that should preclude the granting of a license by the commissioner under this chapter. (c) Had a previously issued professional, occupational, or vocational license suspended or revoked for cause by a licensing authority, within five years of the date of the filing of the application to be acted upon, on grounds that should preclude the granting of a license by the commissioner under this chapter. If the commissioner issues an order based on a plea that does not at any time result in a judgment of conviction, the commissioner shall vacate the order upon petition by the applicant.
