For any applicant against whom a complaint is filed with this Board, any final decision on the application will be held in abeyance until the Board has made a final determination on the complaint filed. If the complaint is not resolved within 180 days after an application has been held in abeyance, the Board shall review the complaint and make a determination as to whether to issue the license notwithstanding the complaint. In making the determination, the Board shall consider any relevant factor, including the potential for harm to the public if the license is granted, and the nature and severity of the allegations. The applicant will be permitted to take all required exams as scheduled but will not be licensed until approved by the Board.
