(b) A provisional license may be issued whenever a mental health program submits with its complete application the appropriate fee, the Department has reviewed the program's policies and procedures and has conducted a program site tour, and whenever:

1. A program which plans to change its location or add an additional location has submitted a complete licensure application and a program site tour has been conducted; or

2. A new program that has submitted a complete licensure application, its policies and procedures have been reviewed; and a program site tour has been conducted.

(c) A provisional license may be issued to a specific facility address for a period of six months, or until completion of a full site review by the Department. A provisional license may be renewed if needed by the Department.
