Rule 111-8-2-.20. Inspections
- (1) The department shall conduct periodic on-site inspection of each ARMHP. Such inspection shall include, but shall not be limited to, the premises, staff, clients, and documents pertinent to the continued licensing of such ARMHP so that the department may determine whether a program or governing body is operating in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Each licensee shall permit authorized Department representatives to enter upon and inspect any and all premises upon or in which a program is to be conducted, for which a license has been applied, or for which a license has been issued so that verification of compliance with all relevant laws or regulations can be made.
- (2) If violations of these licensing rules are identified from an inspection, the program will be given a written report of the violation that identifies the rules violated. The program shall submit to the department a written plan of correction in response to the report of violation, which states what the program will do, and when, to correct each of the violations identified. The program may offer an explanation or dispute the findings or violations in the written plan of correction, so long as an acceptable plan of correction is submitted within ten (10) days of the program 's receipt of the written report of inspection. If the initial plan of correction is unacceptable to the department, the program will be provided with at least one (1) opportunity to revise the unacceptable plan of correction. Failure to submit an acceptable plan of correction may result in the department commencing enforcement procedures. The program shall comply with its plan of correction.
