The commissioner may waive the filing of an application if, in the commissioner’s discretion, the change of control does not pose any risk to the interests of the public.
(d) Whenever control of a licensee is acquired or exercised in violation of this section, the license shall be deemed revoked as of the date of the unlawful acquisition of control. The licensee, or its controlling person, shall surrender the license to the commissioner on demand.
