(3) The agency must show to the Child Care Agency Board of Review's or the Commissioner's satisfaction, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the agency has corrected the deficiencies which led to the denial or revocation, and that the child care agency can demonstrate that it has the present and future ability, and is willing, to maintain compliance with licensing laws or regulations.

(4) The decision of the Board or panel, or the Commissioner, shall be reduced to an order, which shall be a final order pursuant to Title 4, Chapter 5, Part 3, and may be appealed pursuant to § T.C.A.4-5-322.
