it shall notify the commission at least 30 days prior to the change.
Notification or service of any order, notice, or other issuance or

service required for any registration, administrative enforcement, or other
action, undertaken by the commission pursuant to the Administrative Procedure
Act or otherwise, in connection with such person.
C. If any person shall refuse to obey any
such subpoena, to give testimony, or to produce evidence thereby, the

believe that any licensee or any other person has violated any of the
provisions of this Chapter relating to motor vehicle credit transactions shall
