		At the discretion of the Superintendent, a conditional license may be issued
to an applicant to operate a new facility in order to permit the applicant to
demonstrate compliance with licensure requirements. Such conditional license may
be renewed, but the issuance of a conditional license and any renewals thereof
shall be for no longer a period than six successive months.
