   35  If the review indicates any such indictment, information, or
   36  arrest, the department shall provide to the licensee a
   37  conditional nonapproval number.
   38         2. Within 24 working hours, the department shall determine
   39  the disposition of the indictment, information, or arrest and
   40  inform the licensee as to whether the potential buyer is
   41  prohibited from receiving or possessing a firearm. For purposes
   42  of this paragraph, “working hours” means the hours from 8 a.m.
   43  to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays.
   44         3. The office of the clerk of court, at no charge to the
   45  department, shall respond to any department request for data on
   46  the disposition of the indictment, information, or arrest as
   47  soon as possible, but in no event later than 8 working hours.
   48         4. The department shall determine as quickly as possible
   49  within the allotted time period whether the potential buyer is
   50  prohibited from receiving or possessing a firearm.
   51         5. If the potential buyer is not so prohibited, or if the
   52  department cannot determine the disposition information within
   53  the allotted time period, the department shall provide the
   54  licensee with a conditional approval number.
   55         6. If the buyer is so prohibited, the conditional
   56  nonapproval number shall become a nonapproval number and the
   57  department must notify by telephone or by electronic means,
   58  followed by written notice, the appropriate sheriff’s office and
   59  the local law enforcement agency and identify the potential
   60  buyer who is prohibited from receiving or possessing a firearm.
   61         7. The department shall continue its attempts to obtain the
   62  disposition information and may retain a record of all approval
   63  numbers granted without sufficient disposition information. If
   64  the department later obtains disposition information which
   65  indicates:
   66         a. That the potential buyer is not prohibited from owning a
   67  firearm, it shall treat the record of the transaction in
   68  accordance with this section; or
   69         b. That the potential buyer is prohibited from owning a
   70  firearm, it shall immediately revoke the conditional approval
   71  number and notify local law enforcement.
   72         8. During the time that disposition of the indictment,
   73  information, or arrest is pending and until the department is
   74  notified by the potential buyer that there has been a final
   75  disposition of the indictment, information, or arrest, the
   76  conditional nonapproval number shall remain in effect.
