(c) The Director or designee shall make the determination of renewal based on results of the licensing site review.

(d) In the event that a license expires prior to the triennial licensing review, the license shall remain in effect until the licensing site review is completed.

(e) The Department may revoke the license, or refuse to renew the license, if the mental health program is not in compliance with licensing rules; does not submit the licensure renewal fee; or if continued operation of the mental health program presents an imminent danger to the health, safety or welfare of any client; or for failure to submit the specified written response to a site review report by the required date; or for failure to correct any identified area of non-compliance within the time frame approved by the Department in the notice of non-compliance.

(f) The Department may, in lieu of revocation or refusal to renew a license, issue a conditional license and/or elect other administrative sanctions to include, but not be limited to, prohibiting the mental health program from continuing to admit clients, or requiring the removal/relocation/referral of clients to other licensed provider(s).

(g) In the event that the Department revokes or does not renew the license, the Director shall send written notice to the mental health program's chief executive officer or designee and to the mental health program's board of directors or owners indicating the basis for the revocation or non-renewal and the rights to a review as provided at N.J.A.C. 8:121-1.11 and an administrative hearing as provided at N.J.A.C. 8:121-1.12.
