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 Initial License. The department shall
					 issue a full license to the facility when the initial licensing survey finds
					 that the PRTF is compliant with all licensing laws and regulations, and is
					 compliant with all other required statutes, laws, ordinances, rules,
					 regulations, and fees. The license for a PRTF shall be valid until the
					 expiration date shown on the license, unless the license is revoked, suspended,
					 modified, or terminated prior to that time. The initial license shall specify
					 the capacity of the facility.
2.
					 Provisional Initial License. The department may issue a provisional initial
					 license to the facility when the initial licensing survey finds that the PRTF
					 is noncompliant with any licensing laws or regulations or any other required
					 statutes, laws, ordinances, Rules, regulations or fees, but the department
					 determines that the noncompliance does not present a threat to the health,
					 safety or welfare of the residents or participants. The provisional license
					 shall be valid for a period not to exceed six months.
a. At the discretion of the department, the
					 provisional initial license may be extended for an additional period not to
					 exceed 90 days in order for the PRTF to correct the noncompliance or
					 deficiencies.
b. The facility shall
					 submit a plan of correction to the department for approval and the provider
					 shall be required to correct all such noncompliance or deficiencies prior to
					 the expiration of the provisional initial license.
c. A follow-up survey shall be conducted
					 prior to the expiration of the provisional initial license.
i. If all such noncompliance or deficiencies
					 are determined by the department to be corrected on a follow-up survey, a full
					 license will be issued.
ii. If all
					 such noncompliance or deficiencies are not corrected on the follow-up survey,
					 the provisional initial license shall expire and the provider shall be required
					 to begin the initial licensing process again by submitting a new initial
					 license application packet and fee.
3. Full Renewal License. The department may
					 issue a full renewal license to an existing licensed PRTF 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 Renewal License. The
					 department, in its sole discretion, may issue a provisional license to an
					 existing licensed PRTF for a period not to exceed six months.
a. At the discretion of the department, the
					 provisional renewal license may be extended for an additional period not to
					 exceed 90 days in order for the PRTF to correct the noncompliance or
					 deficiencies.
b. A provisional
					 renewal license may be issued for the following reasons:
i. the existing PRTF has more than five
					 deficient practices or deficiencies cited during any one survey;
ii. the existing licensed PRTF has more than
					 three validated complaints in a one year period;
iii. the existing PRTF has been issued a
					 deficiency that involved placing a resident or participant at risk for serious
					 harm or death;
iv. the existing
					 PRTF 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
v. the existing PRTF 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.
c. When
					 the department issues a provisional renewal license to an existing licensed
					 PRTF, the provider shall submit a plan of correction to the department for
					 approval, and the provider shall be required to correct all such noncompliance
					 or deficiencies prior to the expiration of the provisional license. The
					 department shall conduct an on-site follow-up survey at the PRTF prior to the
					 expiration of the provisional license.
i. If
					 the on-site follow-up survey determines that the PRTF has corrected the
					 deficient practices and has maintained compliance during the period of the
					 provisional license, the department may issue a full license for the remainder
					 of the year until the anniversary date of the PRTF license.
ii. If the on-site follow-up survey
					 determines that the PRTF has not corrected the deficient practices or has not
					 maintained compliance during the period of the provisional license, the
					 provisional renewal license shall expire and the facility shall be required to
					 begin the initial licensing process again by submitting a new initial license
					 application packet and fee, if no timely informal reconsideration or
					 administrative appeal is filed pursuant to this Chapter.
