Section 8.321.11.12 - LICENSE RENEWAL

A. Licensee must submit a renewal application, electronically, if available, or on forms authorized by the licensing authority, along with the required license fee at least 30 days prior to expiration of the current license. The applicant shall certify that the CTC complies with all applicable state and federal regulations in force at the time of renewal and that there has been no new construction or remodeling or additions, which differ from the plans provided and reviewed with the prior license application. If there has been any construction, remodeling, or additions to the CTC since issuance of the last license, and the construction has not been previously approved by the authority, the license renewal applicant shall be required to comply with all construction documentation requirements under these regulations when applying for the license renewal. The authority reserves the right to require that a renewal applicant provide all additional documents, including any necessary proof of current compliance, as part of its license renewal application for the authority to determine whether the applicant and the CTC are in full compliance with these regulations.

B. Upon receipt of the renewal application and the required fee, the licensing authority will issue a new license effective the day following the date of expiration of the current license, if the CTC is in substantial compliance with these regulations and all other applicable state and federal regulations.

C. If the existing license expires and the licensee has failed to submit a renewal application, the authority may charge the applicant a civil monetary penalty of $100 for each day, in accordance with Section 24-1-5 NMSA 1978, as amended, that the CTC continues to operate without a license providing that during such time the CTC remains in full compliance with these regulations. If the CTC does not renew its license and continues to operate without paying civil monetary penalties and without being in full compliance with these regulations, the CTC shall cease operations until it obtains a new license through the initial licensure procedures, and shall still be required to pay civil monetary penalties.

Under Section 24-1-5 NMSA 1978, as amended, no crisis triage center shall be operated without a license and any such failure may subject the operators to various sanctions and legal remedies, including at a minimum the imposition of civil monetary penalties.

D. It shall be the sole responsibility and liability of the licensee to be aware of the status, term and renewal date of its license. The licensing authority shall not be responsible to notify the CTC of the renewal date or the expiration date of the CTC's license.

E. After issuance of the initial license, if there has been no construction, remodeling or additions to the CTC and the CTC is in substantially the same condition as the plans on file with the authority, and the CTC is in substantial compliance with these regulations and provides an application and fee the CTC may be issued a license renewal. The authority, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to require additional documentation of compliance with these regulations and all applicable state and federal statutes and regulations by the licensee at the time of license renewal.
