(b) Had a previous application for a professional, occupational, or vocational license denied for cause by a licensing authority, within five years of the date of the filing of the application to be acted upon, on grounds that should preclude the granting of a license by the commissioner under this chapter.

(c) Had a previously issued professional, occupational, or vocational license suspended or revoked for cause by a licensing authority, within five years of the date of the filing of the application to be acted upon, on grounds that should preclude the granting of a license by the commissioner under this chapter.
