(b) Made a materially false, misleading, deceptive, or fraudulent representation in the application or as an athlete agent;

(3) In making a determination under subsection (2) of this section, the department shall consider:
(a) How recently the conduct occurred;
(b) The nature of the conduct and the context in which it occurred; and
(c) Any other relevant conduct of the applicant.

The department shall renew the registration if the department determines:
(a) The registration requirements of the other state are substantially similar to or more restrictive than the Commonwealth’s; and
