A copy of the letter will be provided to applicable areas of the department and to any state or local government agencies with the potential to be affected by the program’s non-licensed status. (19) If the department has reasonable grounds to believe a residential program or day program required to be licensed under sections 630.705–630.760, RSMo, is operating without a license, the department will attempt to investigate to determine whether a license is required. If department staff are not permitted access to inspect the program, or if the program director refuses to permit access for an inspection, the department will apply to the circuit court of the county in which the program is located for an order authorizing entry for such inspection. (20) If the department has not completed its license inspection before the expiration date of a current license and the applicant is not at fault for the delay, a temporary operating per- mit, not to exceed ninety (90) business days, will be issued by the department in order to complete the survey.

The reinspection may be conducted through a desk audit at the department’s discretion. 1. If the department determines the program is in compliance with licensing regulations, a license will be issued to the program. 2. If the department determines the program has not achieved compliance with licensing regulations or the program director is not correcting the noted areas of non- compliance in accordance with the approved plan of correction, the department will issue written notice of noncompliance to the program director by certified mail/return receipt requested; (G) The notice of noncompliance will inform the program director that the department may seek the imposition of any of the sanctions and remedies provided for in section 630.755, RSMo, or any other action authorized by law; and (H) The program director may choose to enter into a consent agreement with the department to obtain a probationary license. The consent agreement will include a provi- sion that the program director shall voluntar- ily surrender the license if compliance is not reached in accordance with the terms and deadlines established under the consent agreement.

(A) Prior to the formal notice of license denial or revocation, the department will send a written notice of its intent to deny/revoke and the reasons for such action to the program director by certified mail/return receipt requested. The program director shall have ten (10) business days from the date of receipt to request a review by the department’s hearing administrator. The review shall occur within fifteen (15) busi- ness days of the department’s receipt of the request for a hearing from the program direc- tor. (B) The review by the department’s hear- ing administrator is not applicable when a license was denied or revoked due to substan- tiated abuse, neglect, or misuse of funds/property pursuant to 9 CSR 10-5.200, 9 CSR 10-5.206, and 19 CSR 30-88.010.
