In determining whether a person is in good standing, the director may consider, but is not limited to, the following factors:

1. (1) Suspension, revocation, or denial of license by a state;
2. (2) Administrative or judicial action pending in any state and the nature of that action;
3. (3) Complaints, nature and number, against the person;
4. (4) False statements, oral or written, to the division, including omissions;
5. (5) Neglect of financial or fiduciary responsibilities;
6. (6) Conduct which is unlawful, dishonest, deceitful, or fraudulent;
7. (7) Evidence of drug or alcohol abuse or dependency; and

8. (8) Acting as an agent without being licensed.

   In reviewing these factors the director may consider the recentness of the action or conduct overall, any mitigating circumstances, evidence of rehabilitation, and the person's cooperation.
