(a) A health department certificate of inspection for a day care center shall be valid for one year from the date of issuance, unless the certificate of inspection is suspended or revoked for cause as provided in this article. The certificate of inspection shall be valid until expiration takes place or until revoked; provided, however, that possession of a certificate of inspection shall not exempt the day care center from reinspection or citation for violations occurring during the period of time between inspections. A certificate of inspection shall not be transferable, and any change in use, occupancy, ownership or operation shall require a new health department certificate of inspection.
(b) Application for renewal of a health department certificate of inspection shall be made on a form specified by the department. The owner shall submit an application for renewal to the department no later than four weeks prior to the impending expiration date of the current certificate. The renewal procedure shall require that the owner of the day care center confirm the accuracy of the records of the health department. Any incorrect information or changes to the information in the records of the department for the day care center shall be corrected or made by the owner before the certificate of inspection will be renewed.
