It shall be unlawful for any holder of a license issued pursuant to the Adult Day Care Act to advertise or hold out to the public that it holds a license for a center other than that for which it actually holds a license.

(b)Centers to be licensed shall include all adult day care centers. Sheltered workshops and senior recreational centers which do not receive participant fees for services are not required to be licensed. It shall be unlawful to operate a center without first obtaining a license for such operation as required by the Adult Day Care Act, regardless of other licenses held by the operator. Organizations operating more than one center shall obtain a license for each site. [63:1-873.B]

(c)The license for operation of a center shall be issued by the State Department of Health. The license shall:

(1)Not be transferable or assignable;

(2)Be posted in a conspicuous place on the licensed premises;

(3)Be issued only for the premises named in the application; and

(4)Expire thirty-six (36) months from the date of issuance, provided an initial license shall expire one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of issuance. Licenses may be issued for a period of more than twelve (12) months, but not more than thirty-six (36) months, for the licensing period immediately following November 1, 2021, in order to permit an equitable distribution of license expiration dates to all months of the year. [63:1-873.C(4)]

(d)The issuance or renewal of a license after notice of a violation has been sent shall not constitute a waiver by the State Department of Health of its power to subsequently revoke the license or take other enforcement action for any violations of the Adult Day Care Act committed prior to issuance or renewal of the license.
