2		applicant. The Board may require that the applicant submit
3		electronic fingerprints to the Department for an updated

5		information to determine eligibility. The Board may only
6		consider information submitted by the Department, a law
7		enforcement agency, or the applicant. The Board shall review
8		each objection and determine by a majority of commissioners
9		whether an applicant is eligible for a license.
10		(f) The Board shall issue a decision within 30 days of
11		receipt of the objection from the Department. However, the
12		Board need not issue a decision within 30 days if:

22		that the Board needs an additional 30 days to issue a
23		decision.
24		(g) If the Board determines by a preponderance of the
25		evidence that the applicant poses a danger to himself or
26		herself or others, or is a threat to public safety, then the

SB0114 Enrolled - 14 - LRB098 04341 JDS 34369 b
1		Board shall affirm the objection of the law enforcement agency
2		or the Department and shall notify the Department that the
3		applicant is ineligible for a license. If the Board does not
4		determine by a preponderance of the evidence that the applicant
5		poses a danger to himself or herself or others, or is a threat
6		to public safety, then the Board shall notify the Department
7		that the applicant is eligible for a license.
8		(h) Meetings of the Board shall not be subject to the Open
9		Meetings Act and records of the Board shall not be subject to
10		the Freedom of Information Act.
11		(i) The Board shall report monthly to the Governor and the
