(4) Coercion of a licensee or registrant by threat of discrimination or violence or economic reprisal, to make purchases from or to utilize the services of any person; or

(5) Refusal to answer any material question or produce any evidence lawfully required to be answered or produced at any investigation, interview or other proceeding conducted by the commission pursuant to the provisions of this act, or, if such refusal is accompanied by a valid plea of privilege against self-incrimination, refusal to obey an order to answer such question or produce such evidence made by the commission pursuant to the provisions of subdivision 5 of section 5-b of P.L.1954, c.14 (C.32:23-86); or

(6) Association with a person who has been identified by a federal, state or local law enforcement agency as a member or associate of an organized crime group, a terrorist group, or a career offender cartel, or who is a career offender, under circumstances where such association creates a reasonable belief that the participation of the licensee or registrant in any activity required to be licensed or registered under this act would be inimical to the policies of this act.

For the purposes of this subsection, a "terrorist group" shall mean a group associated, affiliated or funded in whole or in part by a terrorist organization designated by the United States Secretary of State in accordance with section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended from time to time, or any other organization which assists, funds, or engages in crimes or acts of terrorism as defined in the laws of the United States, or of either of the states of New Jersey or New York; a "career offender" shall mean a person whose behavior is pursued in an occupational manner or context for the purpose of economic gain utilizing such methods as are deemed criminal violations against the public policy of the states of New Jersey and New York; and a "career offender cartel" shall mean a number of career offenders acting in concert, and may include what is commonly referred to as an organized crime group; or

(7) Conviction of a racketeering activity or knowing association with a person who has been convicted of a racketeering activity by a court of the United States, or any state or territory thereof under circumstances where such association creates a reasonable belief that the participation of the licensee or registrant in any activity required to be licensed or registered under this act would be inimical to the policies of this act.

L.1954, c.14, s.9; amended 1956, c.194, s.4; 2005, c.313, s.7; 2007, c.333, s.2.
