ISSUANCE OR REFUSAL OF LICENSE; NOTIFICATION; PROVISIONAL AND CONDITIONAL
LICENSES (§ 63.2-1707)

A. Upon completion of his investigation, the Commissioner shall issue an
appropriate license to the applicant if (i) the applicant has made adequate
provision for such activities, services, and facilities as are reasonably
conducive to the welfare of the residents, participants, or children over whom
he may have custody or control; (ii) at the time of initial application, the
applicant has submitted an operating budget and at least one credit reference;
(iii) he is, or the officers and agents of the applicant if it is an
association, partnership, limited liability company, or corporation are, of good
character and reputation; and (iv) the applicant and agents comply with the
provisions of this subtitle. Otherwise, the license shall be denied. Immediately
upon taking final action, the Commissioner shall notify the applicant of such
action.

B. Upon completion of the investigation for the renewal of a license, the
Commissioner may issue a provisional license to any applicant if the applicant
is temporarily unable to comply with all of the licensure requirements.
Corrective action of the applicant, acceptable to the Commissioner and on a
schedule determined by the Commissioner, shall be required prior to any appeal
of the provisional license issued to an assisted living facility or adult day
center, as such terms are defined in &#xA7; 63.2-100. The provisional license
may be renewed, but the issuance of a provisional license and any renewals
thereof shall be for no longer a period than 12 successive months. A copy of the
provisional license shall be prominently displayed by the provider at each
public entrance of the subject facility and shall be printed in a clear and
legible size and style. In addition, the facility shall be required to
prominently display next to the posted provisional license a notice that a
description of specific violations of licensing standards to be corrected and
the deadline for completion of such corrections is available for inspection at
the facility and on the facility&#8217;s website, if applicable.

C. At the discretion of the Commissioner, 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.
