Cal. Fin. Code § 22378

Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 22102 and its implementing regulations, a licensee accepted to participate in the program may appoint one or more branch managers with responsibility for multiple branch locations, subject to approval by the commissioner, and a finding by the commissioner that the centralized nature of underwriting and other key business activities performed by the licensee does not require a unique manager for each branch location, to ensure the protection of consumers who seek out loans from the licensee. The commissioner may revoke this approval at any time, upon a finding that a unique branch manager at each branch location is required for consumer protection.
