Within five (5) days of any applicant beginning work as an adjuster under this section, the employer of such adjuster shall certify to the commissioner such application without being deemed in violation of this article, provided that the commissioner, after notice and hearing, may revoke the emergency license upon the grounds as otherwise contained in this article providing for revocation of an adjuster’s license.
