(A) Examination Of Applicant: The commissioner shall have the right to examine, or cause to be examined, under oath, any applicant for a retail liquor dealer's license or for a renewal thereof, and/or books and records of any such applicant, to hear testimony and take proof for his information in the performance of his duties, and for such purpose to issue subpoenas which shall be effective in any part of this state. For the purpose of obtaining any of the information desired by the commissioner under this section, he may authorize his agent to act on his behalf, as provided by statute. The failure of any applicant to appear at the time and place fixed by the commissioner for his examination or to produce books and records requested, unless for good cause shown, shall be deemed to be an admission that the objections or charges are true and that the applicant is not qualified to receive a license.
(B) Investigation Of Applicant: No license shall be issued until the applicant(s) shall have been investigated by the commissioner and a report filed in the records of said commissioner approving the applicant(s). Applicant(s) shall not be licensed until said applicant(s) and managers, if any, have been fingerprinted and photographed by the chief of police and record searches made of the files of the sheriff of DuPage County, the Illinois bureau of investigations, the federal bureau of investigation and any other record agency that the chief of police shall deem necessary. A copy of the fingerprints and photographs shall be retained in the files of the city clerk, and a sworn affidavit from the chief of police clearing the applicant(s) shall be filed with the commissioner.
