Kansas Administrative Regulations
Agency 30 - KANSAS DEPARTMENT FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
Article 42 - LICENSING OF NON-MEDICAL RESIDENT CARE FACILITIES
Section 30-42-7 - Licensing procedures

(a) Each facility shall apply for a license on application forms provided by the department.

(b) Each application for renewal of a license shall be submitted by the licensed facility to the department at least 60 days before expiration of the license. This provision may be waived by the department upon a showing of good cause by the facility.

(c) At the discretion of the department, a provisional license may be issued to any facility that is substantially in compliance with the licensing regulations, if the facility presents evidence that any deficiency is temporary and if efforts to correct the deficiency are agreed to or are in progress. Each provisional license shall become a regular license at the end of a period of 180 days if the department agrees, in writing, that the previously noted deficiencies have been corrected. If the deficiencies have not been corrected, the provisional license shall automatically lapse at the end of the 180-day period.

(d) Each license issued shall specify and shall be valid only for the facility and the operator named on the license. A new application shall be required for each change of operator. A facility which changes operators may continue to provide the same care which it was licensed to provide under its last prior operator for the period of time that is required for the facility to pursue all administrative avenues available under these regulations for obtaining licensure under the facility's new operator.

(e) The license shall be issued for a specified period of time not to exceed one year.

(f) The department, upon request, may waive any specific licensing standard for good cause if such waiver does not affect the health, safety or welfare of a facility's residents.
