The application must contain:

A. The information or record required for the filing of a uniform application; and   [PL 2005, c. 65, Pt. A, §2 (NEW).]

[PL 2005, c. 65, Pt. A, §2 (NEW).]

2.  Amendment.  If the information or record contained in an application filed under subsection 1 is or becomes inaccurate or incomplete in a material respect, the licensee shall promptly file a correcting amendment.

3.  Effectiveness of licensing.  If an order is not in effect and a proceeding is not pending under section 16412, a license becomes effective no later than noon on the 45th day after a completed application is filed, provided that all examination and training requirements imposed under section 16412, subsection 5 have been satisfied and provided that the license has not been denied.
