Section 532:10-3-4 - Consideration of applications

(a) Consideration of complete applications. The Executive Director or Board staff under the supervision of the Executive Director will consider complete applications. The Application Evaluator will evaluate every complete application and may deny any application if a ground for denial, as defined in these Rules, is present. Before a denial may be issued, the Executive Director must approve any denials recommended by the Application Evaluator. If no Grounds for Refusal of a completed application exist, the Application Evaluator will inform the Executive Director, who will select an investigator or inspector to conduct an inspection of the business location.

(b) Incomplete applications. If the Application Evaluator determines that an application is incomplete, the Application Evaluator will notify the applicant by mail, facsimile, or electronic mail that the application is incomplete, identifying the numbered items on the application that the applicant failed to complete. The applicant may submit additional information within 20 days to supplement and complete the application. Upon submission of additional information, the Application Evaluator will determine whether the application is complete. If the application remains incomplete, the Application evaluator will again notify the applicant. If the applicant fails to submit all additional information required to complete the application within 20 days of the date of the original Notice, and the date all required information is received by the Board is later than the application due date, the applicant shall pay a late fee before the application is deemed complete. If the application is complete, the Application Evaluator will consider the supplemented application as a complete application.

(c) Inactive applications. The Board will deem "inactive" and will not consider applications that remain incomplete one year after the submission date. Applicants whose applications become inactive must re-file a complete application packet and must re-pay the application fee.

(d) Withdrawn applications. If an applicant requests that the applicant's application be withdrawn from consideration, the Application Evaluator will reject the application. In such case, the applicant must submit a new and complete application and fee if the applicant desires further consideration.
