(a) After receipt of the completed application, if the Tax Collector believes that a reason exists for refusing a license under Section 2-4022, the Tax Collector shall refuse to accept payment of the tax and shall not issue the license. At the applicant's request, the Tax Collector shall, in accordance with Section 2-4022, give the applicant a written statement of the reason for refusing the license. The applicant may, within ten days after the day the statement is received, request a conference to discuss the refusal. In the request the applicant shall specify why the application for a license should not be refused. The Tax Collector shall arrange the conference within a reasonable time.
(b) If the Collector refuses to issue a license, the applicant may reapply for a license at any time thereafter. If the reason for which the application was refused no longer exists, and if no other reason exists for refusing to issue a license, the Tax Collector shall issue the license in compliance with Section 2-4024.
