     148C.0355 Commissioner action on applications for 
  licensure. 

    The commissioner shall act on each application for 
 licensure within 90 days from the date the completed application 
 and all required information is received by the commissioner.  
 The commissioner shall determine if the applicant meets the 
 requirements for licensure and whether there are grounds for 
 denial of licensure under this chapter.  If the commissioner 
 denies an application on grounds other than the applicant's 
 failure of an examination, the commissioner shall:  

    (1) notify the applicant, in writing, of the denial and the 
 reason for the denial and provide the applicant 30 days from the 
 date of the letter informing the applicant of the denial in 
 which the applicant may provide additional information to 
 address the reasons for the denial.  If the applicant does not 
 respond in writing to the commissioner within the 30-day period, 
 the denial is final.  If the commissioner receives additional 
 information, the commissioner shall review it and make a final 
 determination thereafter; 

    (2) notify the applicant that an application submitted 
 following denial is a new application and must be accompanied by 
 the appropriate fee as specified in section 148C.12; and 

    (3) notify the applicant of the right to request a hearing 
 under chapter 14.
