The failure of an applicant to appear before the board of plumbing examiners and appeals
for examination, at the time and place scheduled for examination, shall not be construed
as denying any applicant the right to request a rescheduling of such examination at
a later date; except, that no application for examination and licensing shall be held
pending by the board, except for just cause, for more than ninety days following receipt
of such application. In the event an applicant, after due notice, shall fail to appear
before the board for examination, during such ninety-day period, as set forth in this
section, the application shall be rejected, the applicant shall be notified of the
action taken by the board and the examination fee shall be forfeited.
