When such an order is issued, it shall be the added responsibility of the applicant to submit his fingerprints, taken by the sheriffs department, as part of the application required in subsection (b) of this section. The sheriff s department shall within a reasonable time, not to exceed 45 days, report the results of its investigation to the clerk to the board of commissioners. (e) An application in proper form shall be submitted to the county manager, together with all reports required by this section.

(f) Upon approval of the application by the county manager, and upon receipt of a license fee set from time to time, subject, however, to the provisions of section 8-41, the collector of revenue shall issue a privilege license to the applicant. Permit approval shall lapse if the license fee prescribed by this section is not received by the collector of revenue within 60 days of the date the application is approved.

(h) Any person whose application for a license is denied by the county manager pursuant to subsection (e) of this section or revoked pursuant to subsection (g) of this section may appeal such decisions to the board of commissioners. An appeal is taken by filing written notice of such appeal with the clerk to the board of commissioners within ten days following the date of the decision.
