Kan. Admin. Regs. § 30-42-9 - Suspension or revocation of license

(a) The license of any facility shall be suspended or revoked according to the provisions of this subsection (a) whenever:

(1) The department finds that the facility has failed to comply with the provisions of K.A.R. 30-2-15 or of any licensing regulations set forth in this article and there is reason to believe that the facility will be in further non-compliance; or

(2) the department finds that the facility is in continuing non-compliance with K.A.R. 30-2-15 or of any licensing regulations set forth in this article.

(b) Procedures for the suspension or revocation of a license.

(1) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of this subsection, when the department finds that a licensed facility is not in compliance with the provisions of any licensing regulations set forth in this article, the department shall informally advise the facility's operator or chief officer in person or by telephone of a finding of non-compliance. This informal communication shall be confirmed in writing within five working days of the informal advice. The written confirmation of the advice shall:

(A) Specify in detail the noted items of non-compliance;

(B) inform the facility of the action required to correct the non-compliance;

(C) inform the facility that failure to provide evidence that the non-compliance has been corrected will result in suspension or revocation of the facility's license;

(D) inform the facility of the time period within which the item of non-compliance can be corrected without temporary or permanent loss of license. This time period shall not be less than 45 days from the date of written confirmation; and

(E) inform the facility of the name and address of the person within the department to whom evidence must be provided demonstrating that the item of non-compliance has been corrected.

(2) The department shall immediately suspend the license of any facility whose non-compliance with these regulations is of a nature so serious that such non-compliance will constitute an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of the facility's residents. The department shall immediately initiate an action to revoke such a license according to these regulations.

(3) Whenever a facility has failed to satisfy the department that an item of non-compliance has been corrected as provided in paragraph (1) of this subsection, or whenever the department has suspended a facility's license under paragraph (2) of this subsection, action shall be commenced to revoke the facility's license. Prior to revocation of a facility's license, the department shall send to the facility a written notification of the proposed revocation and the reasons therefor. The notice shall state whether the facility's license has been suspended pending further proceedings. If the decision is to revoke the facility's license as herein provided, the department shall issue a written order of revocation setting forth the effective date of such revocation and the basic underlying facts supporting the order.
