Section 58-15-13 - Licensed offices; other business

A. No licensee shall conduct the business of making loans provided for by the New Mexico Small Loan Act of 1955 under any name, or at any place of business within this state, other than that stated in the license.

B. No licensee shall conduct the business of making loans under the New Mexico Small Loan Act of 1955 within any building, office, suite, room or place of business in which any other business is solicited, or engaged in, by the licensee or any employee, agent or associate, or in association or conjunction with any other business, unless authority to do so is specifically given in writing by the director upon written application for such authority submitted by the licensee.

Upon receipt of written application for such authority which shall be accompanied by or have included therein, if the other business is the sale of insurance in connection with loans made under the New Mexico Small Loan Act of 1955, the written consent of the licensee to abide by and be bound by all regulations then in effect or thereafter promulgated by the director relating to tie-in sales of such insurance and small loans, the director shall investigate the facts and circumstances and if he finds that the character of the licensee and the nature of the other business warrants the belief that the conduct of such business would not tend to conceal violation or evasion of the New Mexico Small Loan Act of 1955, or of regulations lawfully made hereunder, including regulations relating to tie-in sales of insurance, he shall enter an order granting such authority. If he shall not so find he shall enter an order denying such authority in the manner specified in and subject to the provisions of Section 58-15-5 NMSA 1978.
