When caregivers do not meet the licensing requirements:
- (1) The department may approve an exemption to license and continue to license a caregiver if the department finds that they can provide for the safety, health, and well-being of children or youth in their care; and
- (2) Caregivers do not have appeal rights if the department denies their request for an exemption to the licensing requirements.
