Conditional license
Official statutory text
A. The Department of Human Services may issue a conditional
license to any group home if the Department finds that a violation
exists in such group home. The issuance of a conditional license
shall revoke any license held by the group home issued pursuant to
the Group Homes for Persons with Developmental or Physical
Disabilities Act.
B. Prior to the issuance of a conditional license, the
Department shall review and approve a written plan of correction.
The Department shall specify the violations which prevent issuance
of a regular license and shall establish a time schedule for
correction of the deficiencies. Retention of the license shall be
conditional on meeting the requirements of the plan of correction.
In the alternative or in addition to a conditional license, the
Director of Human Services may withhold vendor payments due to a
group home under its programs until such time as the corrections are
made or a plan of correction for all deficiencies is approved by the
Department.
C. Written notice of the decision to issue a conditional
license shall be sent to the group home together with the proposed
plan of correction. The notice shall inform the group home of its
right to an informal conference prior to issuance of the conditional
license and its right to a full hearing.
D. If the group home desires to have an informal conference it
shall, within four (4) working days of receipt of notice, send a
written request for an informal conference to the Department. The
Department shall, within four (4) working days from the receipt of
the request, hold an informal conference. Following the conference,
the Department may affirm or overrule its previous decision, or
modify the terms of the conditional license and plan of correction.

The conditional license may be issued after the informal conference
or after the time for requesting an informal conference has expired,
prior to any further hearing.
E. If after the informal conference the group home desires to
contest the basis for issuance of a conditional license, or the
terms of the license or plan of correction, the facility shall send
a written request for hearing to the Department within ten (10) days
after issuance of the conditional license and the Department shall
then hold the hearing.
F. A conditional license shall be issued for a period specified
by the Department, but in no event for more than one (1) year. The
Department shall periodically, but not less than semiannually,
inspect any group home operating under a conditional license. If
the Department finds substantial failure by the group home to follow
the plan of correction, the conditional license may be revoked.
G. If the Department determines that a conditional license
shall expire without renewal or replacement of the conditional
license by a regular license, the Department shall so notify the
licensee at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the
license. The licensee is entitled to a hearing if requested prior
to expiration of the conditional license. The provider is entitled
to a hearing if requested prior to expiration of the conditional
license.
