§ 8.
Applications for original licenses shall be made to the Department in writing on forms prescribed by the Department and shall be accompanied by the required fee, which shall not be returnable.

If an applicant neglects, fails without an approved excuse or refuses to take the next available examination for a license under this Act, the fee paid by the applicant shall be forfeited and the application denied. If an applicant fails to pass an examination for a license under this Act within 3 years after filing his or her application, the application shall be denied.
