Kan. Stat. § 39-2012
A provisional license may be issued to any center, facility, hospital or provider which is temporarily unable to conform to all the standards, requirements and rules and regulations established under the provisions of this act. The issuance of such provisional license shall be subject to approval by the state fire marshal. A provisional license may be issued for not more than six months to provide time to make necessary corrections. One additional successive six-month provisional license may be granted at the discretion of the licensing agency. A change of ownership during the provisional licensing period will not extend the time for the requirements to be met that were the basis for the provisional license, nor entitle the new owner to an additional provisional license.
