hours, a complete indexed record of all applications, licenses, certificates for the current

made to apply for a new license or renew the license. Disposal of the license will proceed
according to the provisions of chapter 54-46. Before disposal and upon request, the registrar
shall furnish a certified copy of any information maintained upon receipt of the fees prescribed in

the same force and effect as provided in section 54-09-02.1.
