After receiving a licensure application, how many days does the division have to decide on the license?

In many jurisdictions, following the receipt of a licensure application, the division is typically required to make a decision within a specified period to ensure timely processing and fairness to the applicant. The requirement of making a decision within 5 days is commonly established to facilitate the timely issuance of licenses. This period allows sufficient time for the division to review the application, verify the applicant's qualifications, and ensure compliance with relevant regulations. Furthermore, having a deadline promotes efficiency in processing applications and helps to manage the expectations of applicants regarding how long they must wait for a decision.

In this context, a decision time frame of 5 days is consistent with regulatory practices that aim to balance thorough review processes with the need for expediency in granting licenses.
