Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-1-865.5: Sheltered workshop conditional license

A. The Department of Human Services may issue a conditional

license to any sheltered workshop if the Department finds that a

violation exists in such sheltered workshop. The issuance of a

conditional license shall revoke any license held by the sheltered

workshop issued pursuant to the Sheltered Workshop Act.

B. Prior to the issuance of a conditional license, the

Department shall review and approve a written plan of correction.

The Department shall specify the violations which prevent issuance

of a regular license and shall establish a time schedule for

correction of the deficiencies. Retention of the license shall be

conditional on meeting the requirements of the plan of correction.

In the alternative or in addition to a conditional license, the

Director of the Department of Human Services may withhold vendor

payments due to a sheltered workshop under its programs until such

time as the corrections are made or a plan of correction for all

deficiencies is approved by the Department.

C. Written notice of the decision to issue a conditional

license shall be sent to the sheltered workshop together with the

proposed plan of correction. The notice shall inform the sheltered

workshop of its right to an informal conference prior to issuance of

the conditional license and its right to a full hearing.

D. If the sheltered workshop desires to have an informal

conference it shall, within four (4) working days of receipt of

notice, send a written request for an informal conference to the

Department. The Department shall, within four (4) working days from

the receipt of the request, hold an informal conference. Following

the conference, the Department may affirm or overrule its previous

decision, or modify the terms of the conditional license and plan of

correction. The conditional license may be issued after the

informal conference or after the time for requesting an informal

conference has expired, prior to any further hearing.
