(a) A school shall not be licensed until the Department of Health has had ample opportunity to verify sworn statements as to the actual ownership. In this respect, if false statements are submitted to the department in connection with a license application, this in itself shall constitute sufficient grounds for the refusal to grant any application under this subchapter. If an application is granted and thereafter the department discovers that false statements were made in connection therewith, this shall constitute sufficient grounds for the cancellation of the school license even though the false statements are detected after a license has been issued.
(b)
(1) The department may deny a school license to any applicant or licensee upon reasonable evidence that the school or its officials would jeopardize the health and safety of the public.
(2) A school license shall not be issued until the real owner files with the department a statement definitely designating who is authorized to accept service of notice from the department and to transact all business negotiations on behalf of the school, including answers to citations for hearing and compliance with rulings issued by the Cosmetology Technical Advisory Committee.
