Section 1639.3 - Issuance of license; denial of license; provisional license(a) Upon the filing of the verified application for licensure required by Section 1639.1, payment of the application fee in the amount required in Section 1639.5, and full compliance with this chapter and the rules and regulations adopted by the state department, the state department shall issue a license to operate a tissue bank to the applicant.(b) If the state department finds that the applicant is not in compliance with this chapter or the rules or regulations adopted under this chapter, or if it finds that the applicant has acted in a manner which would justify the revocation or suspension of a tissue bank license as described in Section 1643, the license shall be denied.(c) The state department may, prior to a determination under subdivision (a) that the applicant is in full compliance, but after the filing of a complete and verified application and payment of the application fee, issue a provisional license to operate a tissue bank to the applicant. The provisional license shall remain in effect until a license is either granted under subdivision (a) or denied under subdivision (b). If this period is longer than a year from the date of filing the application for licensure, the applicant shall pay an additional annual fee of nine hundred fifty dollars ($950) in order for the provisional license to remain in effect for an additional one-year period. Failure to pay the additional annual fee shall result, by operation of law, in automatic expiration of the provisional license one year from the date of its original issuance. If the provisional license does so expire, the applicant may not continue to operate a tissue bank pending the department's determination of whether a license shall be granted or denied.
