What happens if an applicant fails to respond to the board's request for information?

When an applicant fails to respond to the board's request for information, the application will be closed. This action signifies that the board has the authority to manage its application process actively and expects cooperation from applicants to provide the necessary information for evaluation. Closing the application helps ensure that the board can maintain its required timelines and standards for processing applications.

If an applicant does not respond, it indicates that the board cannot move forward with the application, leading to its closure rather than approval, denial, or penalties. Closing the application allows the applicant the opportunity to reapply in the future with a complete submission if desired.
