V.

The board or commission shall review the application and information, prior to the expiration date of the temporary license. The board or commission shall issue a full-term New Hampshire license upon payment by the temporary license holder of the applicable license fee, unless the board or commission determines that the information shows that the individual does not qualify for such license. If the disqualification is due to state requirements that are not comparable, this determination shall be published as provided in paragraph II. Upon a determination of disqualification, the board or commission shall identify the disqualification in writing, which shall invalidate the temporary license. Source. 2018, 283:3, eff.
