§279. Submission of applications; delay

All applications for state permits shall be mailed or delivered to the commissioner in Baton Rouge at the state capitol, and all applications for local permits shall be mailed or delivered to the respective local authorities. An applicant shall mail or deliver his applications for state and local permits within twenty-four hours of each other. If he fails to do so, his state application may be withheld and the permits denied. Upon receipt of an application, the commissioner or the local authorities, as the case may be, shall stamp the day, month, and year received. The commissioner and officers or employees specifically so authorized by the commissioner and local authorities may issue the permits immediately after proper investigation but, for a period of thirty-five days after receipt of the application, such permits shall operate on a probationary basis subject to final action on opposition to, or withholding of, the permit as hereinafter provided.

Amended by Acts 1958, No. 186, §1; Acts 1987, No. 696, §1; Acts 2011, No. 259, §1.
