 5 or license revocation. If an application for a license is denied, not
 6 renewed, not recertified, or revoked, the licensing officer shall issue
 7 a written notice to the applicant setting forth the reasons for such
 8 denial. An applicant may, within ninety days of receipt of such notice,
 9 request a hearing to appeal the denial to the appeals board created by
 10 the division of criminal justice services and the superintendent of

 12 ance before the appeals board and shall be afforded an opportunity to
 13 present additional evidence in support of their application. The commis-
 14 sioner of criminal justice services and the superintendent of state
 15 police shall promulgate rules and regulations governing such appeals
 16 process. However, an application for a license pursuant to this section
 17 for any member of an active or reserve component of the armed forces of
 18 the United States shall be acted upon by the licensing officer within
 19 ninety days of the date of presentment of such an application to the
 20 appropriate authority.
 21 § 2. The penal law is amended by adding a new section 400.15 to read
