A small business owner applies for a food‑service permit but forgets to submit the required health‑inspection report.

The director will send the owner a notice saying the paperwork is missing and set up a hearing. At the hearing, the director will decide whether to give the owner a chance to fix the problem or to reject the permit altogether.
