| 20 | | necessary to ensure that the electronic version is accurate and |
| 21 | | current and shall satisfy other requirements the Department |
| 22 | | determines to be necessary regarding form and content. The |
| 23 | | display or possession of an electronic version of a license in |
| 24 | | accordance with the requirements of the Department satisfies |
|
| | 10000HB4525ham001 | - 12 - | LRB100 16207 SLF 38593 a |
|
|
|
| 1 | | all requirements for the display or possession of a valid |
