(1) Permits issued under this article shall be valid for up to thirty-six months after the date of issue unless sooner revoked or suspended. Permits may be issued on a conditional basis, subject to revocation or suspension based on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of an event specified by the division. Permits may be renewed on or before their expiration date upon the payment of the required fee.

(2) Prior to the issuance of a permit pursuant to this article, each applicant for a permit shall submit his or her set of fingerprints to the department. The department shall conduct a criminal history record check of each applicant. If, as a result of such check, the department finds that further investigation is necessary, the department shall forward the fingerprints to the Colorado bureau of investigation for the purpose of conducting a state and national fingerprint-based criminal history record check utilizing the records of the Colorado bureau of investigation and the federal bureau of investigation. The costs associated with the fingerprint-based criminal history record check shall be paid by the applicant to the Colorado bureau of investigation. The department shall consider the information resulting from the criminal history record checks in its determination as to whether the division shall issue a permit to the applicant. Nothing in this section shall preclude the department from making further inquiries into the background of the applicant.
