Ohio Code § 1321.42

§ 1321.42.

(A) The superintendent of financial institutions shall, in accordance with Chapter 119.

of the Revised Code, suspend or revoke a license issued pursuant to sections 1321.35 to 1321.48 of the Revised Code , if the superintendent determines that either of the following applies: (1) The licensee has failed to comply with any order issued by the superintendent pursuant

to section 1321.43 of the Revised Code . (2) Any fact or condition exists that if it had existed or had been known to exist at

the time of original or renewal licensure pursuant to sections 1321.35 to 1321.48 of the Revised Code , the fact or condition clearly would have warranted the superintendent to refuse

to issue a license pursuant to those sections. (B) The superintendent may make any investigation and conduct any hearing the superintendent

considers necessary to determine whether any person has violated sections 1321.35 to 1321.48 of the Revised Code , or any rule or order adopted or issued under section 1321.43 of the Revised Code , or has otherwise engaged in conduct that would justify the suspension, revocation,

or refusal of an original or renewal license or the imposition of a fine. The superintendent may impose a monetary fine of not more than one thousand dollars

for each such violation. (C) In making any investigation or conducting any hearing pursuant to this section, the

superintendent, or any person designated by the superintendent, at any time may compel

by subpoena witnesses, may take depositions of witnesses residing without the state

in the manner provided for in civil actions, pay any witnesses the fees and mileage

for their attendance provided under section 119.094 of the Revised Code , and administer oaths.  The superintendent also may compel by order or subpoena duces tecum the production

of, and examine, all relevant books, records, accounts, and other documents.  If a person does not comply with a subpoena or subpoena duces tecum, the superintendent

may apply to the court of common pleas of Franklin county for an order compelling

the person to comply with the subpoena or subpoena duces tecum or, for failure to

do so, an order to be held in contempt of court. (D) In connection with any investigation under this section, the superintendent may file

an action in the court of common pleas of Franklin county or the court of common pleas

of the county in which the person who is the subject of the investigation resides,

or is engaging in or proposing to engage in actions in violation of sections 1321.35 to 1321.48 of the Revised Code , to obtain an injunction, temporary restraining order, or other appropriate relief.
