(a) This section applies to any inspection the department
is authorized to conduct pursuant to law.
(b) The department may conduct inspections with or
without advance notice to ensure compliance with statute or rule,
or as a result of a complaint.
(c) Inspections will be conducted during the normal
operating hours of the location being inspected.
(d) Upon completion of an inspection, the license holder,
applicant, or representative will be provided with the results of
the inspection in writing. For inspections where violations are identified,
the inspection report will list those violations and indicate, if
applicable, any corrective actions required.
(e) When corrective actions are required, the inspector
will provide the license holder, applicant, or representative a list
of any required corrective actions and a time period for completing
each corrective action. The license holder or applicant must complete
all corrective actions and provide verification, in a manner prescribed
by the department, within the specified time period. The department
may grant an extension of time at its discretion.
(f) The department may assess administrative penalties,
administrative sanctions, or both against a license holder or applicant
who fails to complete any required corrective actions, or fails to
verify completion of any required corrective actions, within the time
period specified by the department.
(g) The department may use alternative inspection methods,
including the use of videoconference technology or other methods,
instead of conducting an in-person inspection.
(h) If any provision of this section conflicts with
the statutes or rules regarding department inspections for a specific
program, the program statute or rule will prevail over this section.
