Any person aggrieved by a decision of the director made pursuant to this section may appeal the decision as provided in section 60-4,105.
No person examining any applicant or licensee shall be liable in tort or otherwise for any opinion, recommendation, or report presented to the director if such action was taken in good faith and without malice.
