A. Application for licensure, whether initial or renewal, shall constitute permission for unrestricted entry into and survey of a CTC by authorized licensing authority representatives at times of operation during the pendency of the license application, and if licensed, during the licensure period.

B. Surveys may be announced or unannounced at the sole discretion of the licensing authority.

C. Upon receipt of a report of deficiency from the licensing authority, the licensee or their representative shall be required to submit a plan of correction to the licensing authority within 10 working days stating how the CTC intends to correct each violation noted and the expected date of completion. All plans of correction for deficiencies, if any, shall be disclosed in compliance with applicable statutes and regulations. A plan of correction is not confidential once it has been approved and is admissible for all purposes in any adjudicatory hearing and all subsequent appeals relating to a CTC license, including to prove licensee compliance violations. The plan of correction must contain the following:

(1) what measures will be put into place or what systematic changes will be made to ensure the deficient practice does not recur;

(2) the anticipated implementation date (a reasonable time-frame is allowed);

(3) how the corrective action will be monitored to ensure compliance;

(4) what quality assurance indicators will be put into place;

(5) who will be responsible to oversee their monitoring; and

(6) plan of correction shall be signed and dated by the administrator or authorized representative.

D. The licensing authority may at its sole discretion accept the plan of correction as written or require modifications of the plan by the licensee.
