§ 30.05 State identification of comprehensive care centers for eating

disorders; commissioner's written notice.

(a) The commissioner shall identify a sufficient number of

comprehensive centers to ensure adequate access to services in all

regions of the state, provided that, to the extent possible, the

commissioner shall identify such care centers geographically dispersed

throughout the state, and provided further, however, that the

commissioner shall, to the extent possible, initially identify at least

three such centers.

(b) The commissioner's identification of a comprehensive care center

for eating disorders under this article shall be valid for not more than

a two year period from the date of issuance. The commissioner may

reissue such identifications for subsequent periods of up to five years,

provided that the comprehensive care center has notified the

commissioner of any material changes in structure or operation based on

its original application, or since its last written notice by the

commissioner, and that the commissioner is satisfied that the center

continues to meet the criteria required pursuant to this article.

(c) The commissioner may suspend or revoke his or her written notice

upon a determination that the comprehensive care center has not met, or

would not be able to meet, the criteria required pursuant to this

article, provided, however that the commissioner shall afford such

center an opportunity for a hearing, in accordance section 31.17 of this

chapter, to review the circumstances of and grounds for such suspension

or revocation and to appeal such determination.
