Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. The department shall have the authority to
					 issue the following types of licenses.
1.
					 Full License. In the event that the initial licensing survey finds that the
					 ARCP is compliant with all licensing laws and regulations, and is compliant
					 with all other required statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and
					 fees, the department shall issue a full license to the provider. The license
					 shall be valid until the expiration date shown on the license, unless the
					 license is modified, revoked, suspended, or terminated.
2. Provisional Initial License. In the event
					 that the initial licensing survey finds that the ARCP is noncompliant with any
					 licensing laws or regulations or any other required statutes, laws, ordinances,
					 rules, regulations or fees, the department is authorized to issue a provisional
					 initial license pursuant to the requirements and provisions of these
					 regulations.
3. Full Renewal
					 License. The department may issue a full renewal license to an existing
					 licensed ARCP who is in substantial compliance with all applicable federal,
					 state, departmental, and local statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations
					 and fees. The license shall be valid until the expiration date shown on the
					 license, unless the license is modified, revoked, suspended, or
					 terminated.
4. Provisional License
a. The department, in its sole discretion,
					 may issue a provisional license to an existing licensed ARCP for a period not
					 to exceed six months, for any of the following reasons, including but not
					 limited to:
i. the existing ARCP has more than
					 three validated complaints in one licensed year period;
ii. the existing ARCP has been issued a
					 deficiency that involved placing a participant at risk for serious harm or
					 death;
iii. the existing ARCP has
					 failed to correct deficient practices within 60 days of being cited for such
					 deficient practices or at the time of a follow-up survey; or
iv. the existing ARCP is not in substantial
					 compliance with all applicable federal, state, departmental, and local
					 statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and fees at the time of renewal
					 of the license.
v.
					 Repealed.
b. When the
					 department issues a provisional license to an existing licensed ARCP, the
					 department shall conduct a follow-up survey of the ARCP prior to the expiration
					 of the provisional license.
i. If that
					 follow-up survey determines that the ARCP has corrected the deficient practices
					 and has maintained compliance during the period of the provisional license,
					 then the department may issue a full license for the remainder of the year
					 until the anniversary date of the ARCP license.
ii. If that follow-up survey determines that
					 the ARCP has not corrected the deficient practices or has not maintained
					 compliance during the period of the provisional license, the provisional
					 license shall expire and the provider shall be required to begin the initial
					 licensing process again by submitting a new initial license application packet,
					 fee and any required facility need approval.
