§ 71-2-406 — Revocation of license

(a) If, during the period of any license issued by the department, it determines that the license issued to the adult day care center should be revoked because of a failure to comply with the standards of this part or the regulations adopted pursuant to this part for the operation of such a center, the department may, after notice and an opportunity to show compliance with all lawful requirements for retention of the license, revoke such license upon sixty (60) days' notice to the licensee or other person responsible for the day to day operation of the adult day care center. (b) (1) A license may be summarily suspended by the department if, pursuant to § 4-5-320 , the department finds in its summary suspension order that the public health, safety, or welfare imperatively requires emergency action, and incorporates a finding to that effect in its order, and that the order states what action must be taken by the licensee to immediately effect compliance with the licensing standards. (2) The summary suspension order shall be reviewed by a hearing officer appointed by the commissioner within five (5) working days of the suspension order, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, who shall make a written determination of whether probable cause exists for continuance of the suspension order after opportunity for response and an informal hearing before such officer by the licensee. (3) The department shall adopt such other rules as may be necessary to provide due process procedures involving the licensing of adult day care centers that are consistent with law, and to accomplish the revocation, denial and suspension of license procedures as may be required by this part.
