Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Other
				than the rules for formal applications pursuant to this section, the formal
				application submitted by a priority winner shall be subject to the same laws
				and regulations as all other license applications submitted to the
				department.
(b) A priority winner
				shall submit their formal application to the department by close of business on
				the 90th calendar day following the date
				notification is sent by the department to the applicant that the applicant is a
				priority winner. By failing to submit a valid formal application by the
				90th calendar day, the priority winner withdraws
				their participation from the priority drawing.
(c) A replacement priority winner notified
				pursuant to Title 4 California Code of Regulations section
				69.3(d) shall have
				90 calendar days following the date notification is sent by the department to
				the applicant that the applicant is a replacement priority winner to submit
				their formal application. By failing to submit a valid formal application by
				the 90th calendar day, the replacement priority
				winner withdraws their participation from the priority drawing.
(d) Submission of a formal application shall
				be either the date the department receives the formal application or the
				postmark date if the formal application is sent via the United States Postal
				Service.
(e) A priority winner can
				only submit a formal application with the same individuals and entities listed
				in its priority application unless it is under the exceptions in this
				subsection. A completed formal application with other individuals or entities
				included, which do not meet an exception pursuant to this subsection, will be
				rejected by the department as an invalid formal application.
(1) At any time prior to the completion of
				the department's licensing investigation, an applicant may amend their
				application to add a spouse.
(2) If
				the applicant is a general partnership, limited liability company, corporation,
				limited partnership, or trust, at any time prior to the completion of the
				department's licensing investigation, the applicant may request that the
				department allow an update to its application to add or change any partners,
				owners, members, limited partners, stockholders, or trustee, as applicable.
				This does not authorize the applicant to change the type of entity that has
				filed the application. The changes authorized by this provision shall have been
				made in the normal course of business and the applicant shall submit a detailed
				explanation as to the reason for the changes requested. The department may deny
				the request, or deny the application, if it is not satisfied that the changes
				were made in the normal course of business or if it appears that the changes
				have been made to avoid or circumvent any requirements of these rules or other
				law.
