We may issue a full license instead of an initial license when
we determine that it is unnecessary for us to evaluate the operation's
ability to comply with minimum standards, rules, and statutes, including
when:
(1) The ownership of an operation changes as follows
without changing the type of child care services that the operation
offers, any policy or procedures, or the staff who have direct contact
with children in care:
(A) An owner changes from one type of business entity
to another, and the new business entity has the same governing body
as the previous owner;
(B) An owner that is a sole proprietor or partnership
forms a business entity to be the new owner, and the business entity's
governing body consists only of persons who were a part of the previous
ownership; or
(C) A third party acquires the publicly traded stock
of a business entity that will continue to own and operate the operation
following acquisition;
(2) The operation changes location, and we determine
that the new location complies with the minimum standards; or
(3) We were able to evaluate the operation's ability
to comply with minimum standards, rules, and statutes during a recent
initial license period, but circumstances required the owner to withdraw
the previous application and submit a new application at the same
location.
