SEC. 8A-11.   REVOCATION OF LICENSE.
   (a)   Except as provided in Subsection (b), the director shall revoke any license issued to operate a boarding home facility if the director determines that:
      (1)   the licensee fails to meet the criminal history qualifications of Section 8A-37 of this chapter or allows an employee or volunteer to work at the facility who fails to meet the criminal history qualifications;
      (2)   the licensee intentionally made a false statement as to a material matter in the application or in a hearing concerning the license;
      (3)   the licensee failed to pay a fee required by this chapter at the time it was due; or
      (4)   a cause for suspension under Section 8A-10 has occurred and the license has already been suspended at least once within the preceding 12 months.
   (b)   The director, at his sole discretion, may enter into a good neighbor agreement with a licensee if the director determines that the good neighbor agreement would eliminate the noncompliance that would otherwise justify a revocation, result in prompt future inspections, and elevate one or more conditions at the boarding home facility to a standard above the requirements of this chapter.
   (c)   Before revoking a license under Subsection (a), the director shall notify the licensee in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested, that the license is being considered for revocation. The notice must include the reason for the proposed revocation, action the licensee must take, if any, to prevent the revocation, and a statement that the licensee has 10 days to comply with the notice.
   (d)   If, after 10 days from the date of the notice required in Subsection (c) was sent or delivered, the licensee has not complied with required actions listed in the notice, the director shall revoke the license and notify the licensee in writing of the revocation by certified mail, return receipt requested. The notice must include the reason for the revocation, and a statement informing the licensee of the right of appeal.
   (e)   If a boarding home facility license has been revoked, the licensee may not apply for a new license for 12 months from the date of revocation.
   (f)   If a boarding home facility license has been revoked, the licensee has 10 days to relocate residents of the facility and cease operations.
   (g)   If a licensee does not relocate residents of the facility within 10 days of revocation of a boarding home facility license, the director may relocate residents and seek to recover relocation costs from the licensee. (Ord. Nos. 28706; 29753; 32397)
