(2) provide information as required by Section 5-4 within 45 days after the effective date.
(b) The Secretary may issue a formal written notice of denial of key individual within 90 days after the date on which the notice provided pursuant to subsection (a) was determined to be complete if the competence, experience, character, or integrity of the individual would not be in the best interests of the public or the customers of the licensee to permit the individual to be a key individual of such licensee.

The Secretary shall conduct hearings pursuant to this Section and in accordance with 38 Ill. Adm. Code 100.
(d) If the notice provided pursuant to subsection (a) is not denied within 90 days after the date on which the notice was determined to be complete, or any extension thereof, the key individual is deemed approved.
(e) If a multistate licensing process includes a key individual notice review and denial process pursuant to this Section and the licensee avails itself or is otherwise subject to the multistate licensing process:
(1) the Secretary is authorized and encouraged to accept the determination of another state;
(2) if the investigating state has sufficient staffing, expertise, and minimum standards for the purpose of this Section; or
