Section 3A:56-2.2 - Issuance of a certificate of approval
(a) The Office of Licensing shall issue a certificate of approval to a home or agency that has achieved substantial or full compliance with all applicable provisions of this chapter.
(b) If the Office of Licensing determines that a home or agency cannot be issued a certificate of approval because there is serious or imminent hazard to the education, health, safety, well-being or treatment needs of the children, the Office shall issue a written notification to the home or agency indicating the steps the home or agency must take to secure a certificate of approval.
(c) Each certificate period shall be two years.
1. In determining the expiration date of the first certificate of approval, the Office of Licensing shall compute the two-year approval period from the date of issuance of the first certificate.
2. In determining the expiration date of a renewed certificate, the Office of Licensing shall compute the two-year approval period from the date on which the previous certificate expired. If, however, the home or agency has ceased to operate for a period of one year following the expiration date of its previous certificate, the Office shall compute the date of expiration from the date of issuance of a new certificate.
(d) The certificate of approval shall be issued to a specific home or agency and shall not be transferable.
(e) The home or agency shall maintain its certificate of approval on file.
(f) No home or agency shall make claims either in advertising or in any written or verbal announcement or presentation contrary to its approval status.
