(a) This section applies to a pawnshop license or a pawnshop employee license.
(b) The commissioner may reinstate a suspended pawnshop license or pawnshop employee license or issue a new license to the person whose license or licenses have been revoked if no fact or condition exists that clearly would have justified refusal to issue the license originally.

(c) The commissioner shall reinstate an expired pawnbroker license if, not later than the 180th day after the date on which the license expired, the pawnbroker pays the commissioner the delinquent $125 fee plus a reinstatement fee of $1,000. After a pawnbroker’s license has expired, the commissioner shall promptly send notice of reinstatement rights to the delinquent pawnbroker by certified mail.
