§ 17649 Commissioner'S Liquidation Authority
This law lets a state commissioner act for a licensee to sell or transfer property and handle legal cases, and any documents he signs are treated as if the licensee’s own officers signed them.
A state agency shuts down a small business and the commissioner sells the business’s building to pay creditors.
The commissioner signs a deed to transfer the building. Because of this law, that deed is just as valid as if the business’s own officers had signed it.
