Section 1762.2 Of Chapter 8.6. Pediatric Day Health And Respite Care Facilities From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 2. >> Chapter 8.6.
1762.2
. (a) If a pediatric day health and respite care facility or
an applicant for a license has not been previously licensed, the
state department shall issue a provisional license to the facility
only as provided in this section.
(b) The state department shall not issue a provisional license
unless, after an onsite survey by the state department, the state
department finds that the pediatric day health and respite care
facility is in substantial compliance with the requirements of this
chapter.
(c) A provisional license to operate a pediatric day health and
respite care facility shall terminate six months from the date of
issuance, or the date that the state department is able to conduct a
full and complete inspection, whichever is later.
(d) Within 30 days prior to the termination of a provisional
license, the state department shall give the facility a full and
complete inspection, and, if the facility meets all applicable
requirements for licensure, a regular license shall be issued. If the
facility does not meet the requirements for licensure but has made
substantial progress towards meeting the requirements, as determined
by the state department, the initial provisional license shall be
renewed for six months.
(e) If the state department determines that there has not been
substantial progress towards meeting licensure requirements at the
time of the first full inspection provided by this section, or, if
the state department determines upon its inspection made within 30
days of the termination of a renewed provisional license that there
is lack of full compliance with the requirements, the state
department shall not issue a further license.
(f) If an applicant for a provisional license to operate a
pediatric day health and respite care facility has been denied
provisional licensing by the state department, the applicant may
contest the denial by filing a request for a hearing pursuant to
Section 131071.
(g) The state department shall not apply less stringent criteria
when granting a provisional license pursuant to this section than it
applies when granting a permanent license.
