Section 10.16.03.02 - Permits

A. General Requirements. It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a camp without an annual permit issued by the Approving Authority. Application for this permit shall be made in writing on a form and in a manner prescribed by the Approving Authority at least 30 days before the opening of the camp, and in the case of a new camp, or camp to be materially altered, enlarged, or added to, shall include plans and specifications for the proposed camp alterations, enlargements, or additions. Permits shall be nontransferable and shall be posted in a conspicuous place. A separate permit shall be required for each camp.

B. Issuance or Denial of a Permit. When, upon review of the application and following complete inspection of the premises, the Approving Authority is satisfied that the camp meets the sanitation requirements (Regulations .04-----.12) of these regulations, a written permit to operate shall be issued. If the camp does not meet the sanitation requirements, the permit shall be denied in writing, setting forth the reason for this action.

C. Suspension or Revocation of Permits. A permit may be temporarily suspended by the Approving Authority after due notification regarding the violation by any person of any of the items outlined under the general sanitation requirements in these regulations, or revoked after a hearing by the Approving Authority upon repeated violation. Any person shall have the right of appeal to the Secretary of Health and Mental Hygiene, and, after that, may appeal to the Circuit Court of the Counties or Baltimore City.
