(1) The Board or panel, as part of its decision regarding the status of the license, may direct that the child care agency be allowed to operate on a probationary or conditional status, and may grant or continue the license with any restrictions or conditions on the agency’s authority to provide care.
2. (2) Such restrictions or conditions on the agency’s authority to provide care may include, but are not limited to, limitations on the agency’s ability to provide transportation or food service, enrollment of the children at the agency, the agency’s hours of operation, the agency’s use of certain parts of the agency’s physical facilities or any other function of the child care agency that the Board or panel determines should be restricted or modified in order to protect the children in the care of the agency.
3. (3) The specific limitations shall be set forth in the Board’s or panel’s order.
4. (4) No probationary or conditional status may be continued for more than six (6) months without further review by the Board or panel.
5. (5) If the Board or panel issues a restricted or conditional license containing limits or conditions for the agency’s operations, the licensee may seek removal of the restrictions. If satisfied that circumstances no longer warrant further restrictions or conditions on the license, the Board may remove any or all of the restrictions or conditions. The Board or panel may, at anytime, modify or remove the restrictions on the license.
