Section 3.3. Validation of licenses; late filing fees

(a) To qualify as timely filed, an application for validation of license shall be filed with requisite license and filing fees and tax clearance, if applicable, at least 60 days before the effective date of validation or the license shall be subject to appropriate late filing fees. Upon objection from the Department of Revenue or the Department of Labor and Industry, or both, pertaining to lack of tax clearance, clearance shall be obtained from either or both Departments, as appropriate, at least 60 days prior to the effective date of validation.

A validation application will not be considered for approval unless accompanied by the requisite filing, license and late filing fees, and tax clearance if appropriate, from the Department of Revenue and the Department of Labor and Industry.

(c) Outstanding issues related to validation or renewal of a license shall be satisfied before the Board will consider additional action or processing of license matters.
