(1)  If upon the basis of a completed application for license and such further inquiry or investigation as the department or office may make concerning an applicant the department or office is satisfied that, subject to any examination required to be taken and passed by the applicant for a license, the applicant is qualified for the license applied for and that all pertinent fees have been paid, it shall approve the application. The department or office shall not deny, delay, or withhold approval of an application due to the fact that it has not received a criminal history report based on the applicant's fingerprints.
