| (a) Fire authority. An applicant must receive approval
from the local fire authority or, if the jurisdiction does not have
a local fire authority, the state fire marshal, for an initial, renewal,
change of ownership, relocation, or capacity increase license application.
An applicant may submit a license application to DADS before receiving
fire authority approval. An applicant must submit to DADS a copy of
a signed and dated written approval for occupancy by the local fire
authority or state fire marshal that describes the center by name
and address.
(b) Local health authority. An applicant for an initial,
change of ownership, relocation, or capacity increase license must
submit to DADS a copy of a dated written notification to the local
health authority that the applicant is submitting a license application
to DADS. DADS sends the local health authority a copy of DADS license
renewal notification specifying the expiration date of the center's
current license. A local health authority may provide an evaluation
to DADS regarding the status of the center's compliance with local
codes, ordinances or regulations. The local health authority may also
recommend that DADS issue or deny a license to the center, but DADS
makes the final decision regarding licensure of the center.
