22VAC40-80-190: Modification

A. The licensee may request a modification of the terms of a license at any time during the period of the license. The request must be submitted in writing to the department's representative.

The department will evaluate written information about any planned changes in operation that would affect either the terms of the license or the continuing eligibility for a license. A licensing representative may inspect the facility during the process of evaluating a proposed modification.

Examples of such changes are: changes in the number of children or adults to be served, staff responsibilities, availability and use of the physical plant, and changes in program focus or needs of the population to be served.

B. If a modification can be granted under the standards, the department will issue a modified license reflecting the changes. In the event that a new application is needed or the modification cannot be granted, the licensee will be advised by letter.
