Section 340:110-3-150 - Denial or revocation of license

When a facility is unable or unwilling to comply with requirements or has failed to adequately protect the health and safety of children, the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OKDHS) can deny the application or revoke the license. The applicant or licensee receives 30 days notice in writing of the decision and the grounds for such proposed action. The applicant or licensee may protest the decision in writing to the Commission for Human Services within 30 days of receipt of the notice. An administrative hearing will be held at which an opportunity is given to the applicant or licensee to present testimony and confront witnesses. If the decision from the administrative hearing is to uphold the recommendation of OKDHS the applicant or licensee may appeal the decision to the district court of the county where the facility is maintained within ten days. In the event the applicant or licensee does not appeal the decision, the facility must cease operation on the effective date of the action. The responsible entity may not make application for a new child care facility license within Oklahoma for five years following notification to the responsible entity of the license revocation or denial and during an appeal process.
