Upon the conclusion of the examination or interview the department shall take action as may be appropriate and may cancel the license of such person or permit the retention of the license, or may issue a license subject to restrictions as permitted under §§ 32-12-36 and 32-12-37. Refusal or neglect of the licensee to submit to the examination or interview shall be grounds for cancellation of the license.
