(a) A person who wishes to obtain a registration certificate for a massage establishment shall submit a registration application to the Director and pay a reasonable registration fee in an amount set by the Director and determined to be sufficient to pay the cost of administering this chapter.
(b) The registration application shall be in a form designated by the Director and shall include all the following:
(1) Full legal name and current residential address of the applicant;
(2) The address of the proposed massage establishment;
(3) A list of services to be offered at the massage establishment;
(4) The full name of any person who will provide massage treatments at the massage establishment;
(5) Sufficient information to identify the license for each therapist.
(c) The Director shall issue a registration certificate unless the Director finds:
(1) The registration application is incomplete or contains inaccurate or fraudulent information;
(2) The license of a therapist cannot be verified;
(3) Within two years before the date the application is submitted, the applicant, or any therapist listed on the registration application, was the applicant for a registration certificate that was revoked or denied. Nothing herein prohibits the Director from issuing a registration certificate for a previously-denied application that has been substantially modified.
(4) Both a zoning certificate and certificate of occupancy have not been issued for the massage establishment.
(d) The Director shall send, by First Class U.S. Mail addressed to the applicant, either a registration certificate or a written statement that the application was denied and the reason therefor.
