Section I-4211 - Types of Licenses

1. In the event that the initial licensing survey finds that the ADHC center is compliant with all licensing laws and regulations, and is compliant with all other required statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and fees, the department shall issue a full license to the center. The license shall be valid until the expiration date shown on the license unless the license is modified, revoked, suspended, or terminated.

2. In the event that the initial licensing survey finds that the ADHC center is noncompliant with any licensing laws or regulations or any other required statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or fees, the department is authorized to issue a provisional initial license pursuant to the requirements and provisions of this §4209

3. The department may issue a full renewal license to an existing licensed ADHC center who is in substantial compliance with all applicable federal, state, departmental, and local statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and fees. The license shall be valid until the expiration date shown on the license, unless the license is modified, revoked, suspended, or terminated.

4. The department, in its sole discretion, may issue a provisional license to an existing licensed ADHC center for a period not to exceed six months, for the following reasons:

5. When the department issues a provisional license to an existing licensed ADHC center, the department shall conduct an on-site follow-up survey at the ADHC center prior to the expiration of the provisional license. If that on-site follow-up survey determines that the ADHC center has corrected the deficient practices and has maintained compliance during the period of the provisional license, the department may issue a full license for the remainder of the year until the anniversary date of the ADHC license.

6. If an existing licensed ADHC center has been issued a notice of license revocation, suspension, modification, or termination, and the centers license is due for annual renewal, the department shall deny a license renewal subject to the pending license revocation, suspension, modification, or termination. The denial of renewal of such a license does not affect in any manner the license revocation, suspension, modification or termination.
