What happens if the DBPR does not request the applicant's criminal history record within 15 days?

If the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) does not request the applicant's criminal history record within 15 days, the appropriate outcome is that the applicant is notified to provide information. This means the DBPR acknowledges the importance of obtaining a complete understanding of the applicant's background, and if there is a delay in their process, the onus falls on the applicant to proactively provide necessary information. This process is designed to ensure that all applicants are evaluated fairly and thoroughly.

The other outcomes, such as automatic approval or denial of licensure, would not align with the regulatory framework intended to maintain oversight and integrity in the licensing process. Applicants are required to meet certain criteria and procedural guidelines, and any gaps in the review process necessitate a communication with the applicant rather than an automatic outcome.
