Criteria for Good Moral Character for Registration of Manufactured Home Dealers

PURPOSE: The Missouri Public Service Commission is charged with the responsibility of determining that applicants for registration as manufactured home dealers are of good moral character. This rule establishes the criteria for evaluating applicants for dealer registration as to their good moral character. (1) The manager will file a request for review of the moral character of an applicant for registration as a manufactured home dealer if— (A) The applicant, within the ten (10) years preceding the application, has been convicted in any federal or state court of a felony relating to the acquisition or transfer of a manufactured home or any other form of property; or (B) The applicant, within the five (5) years preceding the application, has been convicted in any federal or state court of a misdemeanor relating to the acquisition or transfer of a manufactured home or any other form of property. (2) For the purposes of this rule, the applicants who must show good moral character include all partners of the dealership if the dealership is a partnership; all officers of the dealership if the dealership is a corporation; or all owners of the dealership if the dealership is neither a partnership nor a corporation. (3) If the commission finds an applicant lacks good moral character as outlined in subsection (1)(A) or (1)(B) of this rule, the commission may deny the application for registration.
