A local health department that conducts an in-office consultation under this subsection may also conduct an inspection under subsection (2).

(4) A local health department shall conduct an inspection under subsection (2) or an in-office consultation under subsection (3), as applicable, before it makes its recommendation to the department on the issuance of a license.
