(a)

Upon receiving an application for a business license, the tax collector shall initiate a review of said application by such other county departments as may have regulatory responsibilities with regard to the business described in the application. The applicant and/or the application may be directed to the departments specified by the tax collector, and, upon receiving approval from the departments, the tax collector may issue to the applicant a business license.

Each department shall issue to the applicant a dated receipt showing the date the application has been received by said department for review.

(c)

Thereafter, said department shall be responsible to complete its review and make its recommendation to the tax collector within ten days of said receipt, or within such additional time, not to exceed sixty days, as the tax collector may allow to such department upon a request made by the said department within the original ten day period, except that applications which are referred to the sheriff as regulating department shall have thirty days after receipt to respond without any request to the tax collector.

(d)

In the absence of any response from a department within the time limit specified herein, the tax collector, upon presentation of the receipt by the applicant showing the time limit to have been exceeded and showing proof of compliance with Title 22 or Title 23 of this Code, must assume a favorable response by said department, and proceed with the processing of the license application accordingly.

(e)

In an extraordinary case, for good cause shown, the tax collector may allow any department more time than is stated in this section to complete its review and recommendation to the tax collector.
