Sec. 731.202; and     (ii) if the state selected as the state of principal license is Utah:   (A) the member board in Utah shall submit the applicant's fingerprints and any other personal identification information necessary for the performance of the background check to the Bureau of Criminal Identification within the Utah Department of Public Safety; and     (B) the Bureau of Criminal Identification shall perform the background check, including submitting the personal identification information to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and inform the member board of the results; and         (c) appeal on the determination of eligibility shall be made to the member state where the application was filed and shall be subject to the law of that state.       (3) Upon verification in Subsection (2), physicians eligible for an expedited license shall complete the registration process established by the Interstate Commission to receive a license in a member state selected pursuant to Subsection (1), including the payment of any applicable fees.
