N.D. Cent. Code § 51-19-10

Current through the 2023 Legislative Sessions
Section 51-19-10 - Advertisement
1. No person may publish in this state any advertisement offering a franchise subject to the registration requirements of this chapter unless a true copy of the advertisement has been filed with the office of the commissioner at least five business days prior to the first publication or such shorter period as the commissioner by rule or order may allow or unless such advertisement has been exempted by rule of the commissioner.
2. No person may publish any advertisement concerning any franchise in this state after the commissioner finds that the advertisement contains any statement that is false or misleading or omits to make any statement necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and so notifies the person in writing. Such notification may be given summarily without notice of hearing. At any time after the issuance of a notification under this subsection, the person desiring to use the advertisement may request in writing that the order be rescinded. Upon the receipt of such a written request, the matter must be set down for hearing to commence within fifteen business days after such receipt unless the person making the request consents to a later date. After such hearing, the commissioner shall determine whether to affirm and continue or to rescind such order.
