A temporary license is valid until a license is approved or denied by the commission as provided in subsections (A) through (C), but in no case is the temporary license valid for more than sixty days from the date of issuance. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, the commission may revoke a temporary license if the applicant fails to pursue a license and contract pursuant to subsections (A) through (C) in a timely manner, as set forth by the commission by regulation. The commission shall collect a fee of twenty-five dollars for each temporary license sought."
