(1) If the application conforms to the previously approved application and there has been no change with respect to the licensee being convicted of any crime classified by this or any other state as a sex-related offense, and no evidence that the licensee has failed to comply with any of the operating standards of Chapter 5.50 applicable to a performer or the requirements of this chapter, the Director will renew the license for one year.
