(1) Each application for a specific license shall be in writing and shall state such information as the department, by rule or regulation, may determine to be necessary to decide the technical and financial qualifications or any other qualifications of the applicant as the department may deem reasonable and necessary to protect the occupational health and safety and public health and safety. The department may at any time after the filing of the application, and before the expiration of the license, require further written statements and may make such inspections as the department may deem necessary in order to determine whether the license should be modified, suspended, or revoked. All applications and statements shall be signed by the applicant or licensee. The department may require any applications or statements to be made under oath or affirmation.
(2) Each license shall be in such form and contain such terms and conditions as the department may by rule or regulation prescribe.
(3) No license issued under the authority of this chapter and no right to possess or use sources of radiation granted by any license shall be assigned or in any manner disposed of unless the department shall, after securing full information, find that the transfer is in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, and shall give its consent in writing.
(4) The terms and conditions of all licenses shall be subject to amendment, revision, or modification by rules, regulations, or orders issued in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
(b) The department is authorized to require registration or licensing of other sources of radiation.
(c) The department is authorized to exempt certain sources of radiation or kinds of uses or users from the licensing or registration requirements set forth in this section when the department makes a finding that the exemption of such sources of radiation or kinds of uses or users will not constitute a significant risk to the health and safety of the public.
(d) Rules and regulations promulgated under this chapter may provide for recognition of other state or federal licenses as the department shall deem desirable, subject to such registration requirements as the department may prescribe.
