established under this Part and the licensing standards adopted pursuant to this Part, a license
shall be issued.
(2) The licensing agency shall work to ensure that surveys are coordinated to the

agency a completed annual renewal application on forms prescribed by the licensing agency

licensing fee shall be submitted with the annual renewal application. Upon receipt of the
completed annual renewal application and the annual renewal licensing fee, the licensing
agency shall determine if the facility or provider continues to meet the requirements
established pursuant to this Part and the licensing standards adopted pursuant to this Part.
The licensing agency may perform an onsite survey and inspection upon annual renewal. If
the facility or provider continues to meet the requirements established pursuant to this Part
and the licensing standards adopted pursuant to this Part, a license shall be issued which is
valid for one year.
E. The licensing agency may perform an onsite inspection at reasonable times as
necessary to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Part.
