Section 7.8.3.12 - LICENSES

A. Annual License: The Licensing Authority may, at its sole discretion, issue a license for up to one year to a facility which is determined to be in substantial compliance with these regulations.

B. Temporary License: The Licensing Authority at its sole discretion may issue a Temporary License, after an on-site survey, if it determines the facility to be in partial compliance with these regulations.

(1) A Temporary License shall cover a period of time not to exceed 120 days, during which time the facility must correct all specified deficiencies. In order to be issued a Temporary License, deficiencies may not be violations of health and safety standards.

(a) The facility must submit an Action Plan within ten days. The Licensing Authority approves the Action Plan. The facility is then either inspected on-site again, or is required to submit proof of correction through submission of appropriate and relevant documentation within ten days.

(b) If the facility does not meet licensing requirements at the end of the Temporary Licensure period, a second Temporary License may be granted. Another application must be submitted before a second Temporary License may be issued. Only two consecutive Temporary Licenses may be granted.

(2) When a Temporary License is issued, the previous license and its expiration date become null and void, and the Temporary License effective dates are in effect.

C. Amended License: A licensee applies to the Licensing Authority for an amended license when there is a change of a licensee; a change of the facility name; change of capacity; or change of owner.

(1) An application for an amended license is submitted in writing to the Licensing Authority.

(2) The application is accompanied by the required fee for the amended license.

(3) The application is submitted within ten business days of the change.

(4) Upon receipt of the completed application and fee, an on-site survey is performed by the Licensing Authority prior to the issuance of the amended license.

(5) Application for increase of capacity will not be approved nor an amended license issued until an on site survey has been made by the Licensing Authority to determine if the facility has the required space for the increase in capacity. A facility shall not accept additional children until the Licensing Authority has approved and issued an amended license.
