Section 1639.3 Of Article 2. Regulation Of Tissue Banks From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 2. >> Chapter 4.1. >> Article 2.
1639.3
. (a) Upon the filing of the verified application for
licensure required by Section 1639.1, payment of the application fee
in the amount required in Section 1639.5, and full compliance with
this chapter and the rules and regulations adopted by the state
department, the state department shall issue a license to operate a
tissue bank to the applicant.
(b) If the state department finds that the applicant is not in
compliance with this chapter or the rules or regulations adopted
under this chapter, or if it finds that the applicant has acted in a
manner which would justify the revocation or suspension of a tissue
bank license as described in Section 1643, the license shall be
denied.
(c) The state department may, prior to a determination under
subdivision (a) that the applicant is in full compliance, but after
the filing of a complete and verified application and payment of the
application fee, issue a provisional license to operate a tissue bank
to the applicant. The provisional license shall remain in effect
until a license is either granted under subdivision (a) or denied
under subdivision (b).
If this period is longer than a year from the date of filing the
application for licensure, the applicant shall pay an additional
annual fee of nine hundred fifty dollars ($950) in order for the
provisional license to remain in effect for an additional one-year
period. Failure to pay the additional annual fee shall result, by
operation of law, in automatic expiration of the provisional license
one year from the date of its original issuance. If the provisional
license does so expire, the applicant may not continue to operate a
tissue bank pending the department's determination of whether a
license shall be granted or denied.
