1416.24
. (a) An application for a nursing home administrator
license shall be submitted to the program on a form provided by the
program, with the appropriate nonrefundable fee for any required
examination, the application, and licensure. The application shall
contain information the program deems necessary to determine the
applicant's qualifications and a statement whether the individual has
been convicted of any crime other than a minor traffic violation.
Each applicant shall meet the current requirements for any required
examination and licensure. Applicants for licensure shall submit
evidence of electronic transmission of fingerprints or fingerprint
cards to the program.
(b) A completed application package, together with the examination
application, and licensure fees must be received by the program at
least 30 days prior to the examination date.
(c) (1) The withdrawal of an application for a license after it
has been filed with the department shall not, unless the department
consents in writing to the withdrawal, deprive the department of its
authority to institute or continue a proceeding against the applicant
for the denial of the license upon any ground provided by law or to
enter an order denying the license upon that ground.
(2) The suspension, expiration, or forfeiture by operation of law
of a license issued by the department, the suspension, forfeiture, or
cancellation by order of the department or a court of law of a
license, or the surrender without the written consent of the
department of a license, shall not deprive the department of its
authority to institute or continue a disciplinary proceeding against
the licensee upon any ground provided by law or to enter an order
suspending or revoking the license or otherwise taking disciplinary
action against the licensee on any grounds.
(d) An application that is submitted to the program is valid for
only one year after the date of receipt. An applicant who fails to
meet all requirements for licensure, including successfully passing
the national and state examinations during that one-year period,
shall be required to submit another application and appropriate
application and examination fees to the program before attempting
further examinations.
(e) The program may extend the one-year period described in
subdivision (d) upon a showing of good cause. For purposes of this
subdivision, good causes shall include, but shall not be limited to,
delays in the processing of the application, or delays in applying
for and taking the examination caused by illness, accident, or other
extenuating circumstances.
(f) An applicant shall submit documentation and evidence to the
program of his or her eligibility for licensure.
(g) At the time of the examination, the applicant shall read and
sign the Examination Security Agreement and comply with its terms.
