The Department of Insurance has refused to renew the bail bond license of Christian Lentz of Lee’s Summit for failing to pay Missouri income taxes. I spoke with the department spokesperson, who told me that the DIFP had authority for such action under the following statutes:
RSMO 374.750. The department may refuse to issue or renew any license required pursuant to sections 374.700 to 374.775 for any one or any combination of causes stated in section 374.755. The department shall notify the applicant in writing of the reasons for the refusal and shall advise the applicant of his right to file a complaint with the administrative hearing commission as provided by chapter 621, RSMo.
The cause cited by the DIFP is:
RSMO 374.755.1(6) Violation of any provision of or any obligation imposed by the laws of this state, department of insurance rules and regulations, or aiding or abetting other persons to violate such laws, orders, rules or regulations, or subpoenas;
The DIFP’s position is that by not paying his state taxes, Lentz is in “violation of any provision of or any obligation imposed by the laws of this state.”
