The consent to review records includes the applicant's taking whatever action is necessary to permit the board, a designee of the board or the department to have access to confidential records held by banks, courts, law enforcement agencies and the military for purposes stated in this chapter. Refusal to provide consent or access to records is grounds for denial of a license.
