(g) Unlicensed activity forbidden. No person requiring a license from the division shall carry on any activity whatsoever upon the premises of an association unless and until he has been so duly licensed except that any such person with the consent of the division representative may so act pending action on the application duly filed and with the exceptions specified in section 12-574-F12(b)(1) of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies. Any person who employs anyone in contravention of these regulations may be fined or suspended.
