The program seeking the waiver shall provide proof to the department that the program meets the conditions described in Health and Safety Code, § 141.0025(a) before the department may grant a waiver. To ensure that the program continues to be eligible for a waiver, the department may require the program to resubmit proof of meeting the conditions described in Health and Safety Code, § 141.0025(a) no more frequently than one time per calendar year or as part of an investigation described in subsection (c) of this section.

(1) the failure to ensure the health, safety, or welfare of persons at the program; or

(2) the failure to report abuse or neglect occurring at the program as required by Family Code, Chapter 261.

(c) The department may conduct an investigation in response to an allegation that there is cause to revoke a program's waiver or that a program no longer meets the conditions described in Health and Safety Code, § 141.0025(a).

(d) A person who operates a program for which an application for a waiver under this section has been denied or for which a waiver under this section has been revoked may appeal the action in the manner provided for appeal of contested cases under Government Code, Chapter 2001.
