Sec. 42.048. LICENSING
-
(a) The department shall issue a license after determining that an applicant has satisfied all requirements.
(b) When issuing a license, the department may impose restrictions on a facility, including but not limited to the number of children to be served and the type of children to be served.
(c) The department may grant a variance of an individual standard set forth in the applicable standards for good and just cause.
(d) A license holder must display a license issued under this chapter in a prominent place at the facility.
(e) A license issued under this chapter is not transferable and applies only to the operator and facility location stated in the license application. Except as provided by this subsection, a change in location or ownership automatically revokes a license. A change in location of a child-placing agency does not automatically revoke the license to operate the child-placing agency.
(f) A license must be issued if the department determines that a facility meets all requirements. The evaluation shall be based on one or more visits to the facility and a review of required forms and records. A license is valid until revoked or surrendered.
