The LAW doesn't say 60 "business days". It says 60 days. I'd hate to be sentenced to 30 days in jail only to find out that weekends and state holidays don't count.

If you are let out on the weekends and holidays then it would be business days. The dept. does not work on LTC apps on weekends and state holidays.

The law specifies the number of days:

GC §411.176. REVIEW OF APPLICATION MATERIALS.
(a) On receipt of application
...
Not later than the 30th day after the date the department receives the application

(b) The director’s designee
...
shall complete the record check and investigation not later than the 60th day after the date
...

It's a time frame specified, not a number of working days. However there is no penalty for not meeting the time frame. In some states, the state must issue the card in a set time regardless of whether the investigation is done or not.

But the statute defines the time period in days, not work days, business days, non-holidays, hours, etc.
