 1-4           SECTION 1. Section 91.015(c), Labor Code, is amended to read

 1-6           (c)  Before denying a license application, the department
 1-7     shall provide written notice to an applicant specifying the reasons
 1-8     for the denial.  [The department shall provide the applicant at
 1-9     least 30 days after the date of the notice to address the reasons
1-10     for the denial.  For good cause and on a showing of a good faith
1-11     effort to remedy the reasons for the denial, the commissioner may
1-12     grant an additional 30 days to remedy the reasons for denial.]
1-13           SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2001, and
