Subpart 1. Unlicensed family day care and adult foster care.

When a county agency learns that a family day care or adult foster care program required to be licensed is operating without a license, the county shall, within five working days, notify the operator in writing that a license is required or the program must discontinue operation.

A. If the operator discontinues the unlicensed operation, no further action is required.
