B. A child care group home sanctioned pursuant to this section shall notify the department in writing when it is in substantial compliance. On receipt of notification the department shall conduct an inspection. If the department determines that the child care group home is in substantial compliance the director shall immediately rescind the sanctions. If the department determines that the child care group home is not in substantial compliance the sanctions remain in effect. The child care group home may then notify the department of substantial compliance not sooner than fourteen days after the date of that inspection. If the department determines on the return inspection that the child care group home is still not in substantial compliance the sanctions remain in effect. Thereafter, a child care group home may notify the department of substantial compliance not sooner than thirty days after the date of the last inspection. A child care group home shall make all notifications of substantial compliance by certified mail. The department shall conduct all inspections required pursuant to this subsection within fourteen days after receipt of notification of substantial compliance. If the department does not conduct an inspection within this time period, the sanctions have no further effect.

A request for a hearing shall be made by certified mail within ten days after receipt of notice of the sanctions.
