Sec. 7. (a) As used in this section, "material misrepresentation" means a false or misleading statement of fact or the omission of any fact that, if known to the commissioner, would be cause to suspend, revoke, or refuse to grant approval under this rule, or that would otherwise render such program, instructor, or program director ineligible for the approval for which application was made.

(b) The commissioner may deny, suspend, or revoke the approval of a program or the approval of an instructor or program director if the commissioner finds that the program, instructor, or program director has made a material misrepresentation on the application for program approval, on the application for instructor approval, or on the application for program director approval.

(c) The commissioner may:

1. (1) suspend or revoke the certification of a program that does not maintain reasonable standards, as determined by the commissioner; or
2. (2) disqualify an approved instructor who is currently qualified under section 3 of this rule to render instruction in a navigator program from rendering the instruction if the annual passing percentage of individuals, who receive instruction from the approved instructor and take the navigator certification examination, is less than forty-five percent (45%).
