§ 170-E-9. Section 170-E:9 License Renewal.

I. A licensed child day care agency shall file for renewal of its license or permit no later than 3 months prior to the expiration date of the license or permit on forms prescribed by rules adopted by the commissioner under RSA 541-A. An application for the renewal of a license shall not be considered complete until the applicant submits any additional information required by the department, which shall include a corrective action plan if an inspection conducted following receipt of the application for renewal finds the agency out of compliance with a provision or provisions of the applicable licensing rules. II. The department shall reexamine every child day care agency for renewal of its license or permit, including examination of the premises, program and such records of the agency as the department considers necessary to determine that minimum standards for licensing continue to be met. If the department is satisfied that the agency continues to comply with the minimum standards established by rule for that category of care, which includes the receipt of corrective action plans as defined under RSA 170-E:2 and as established in rule, it shall renew the license to operate. III. The commissioner may designate an agency or person to carry out the reexamination specified in paragraph II. IV. If the department is unable to examine the premises and program due to the program not currently operating after the renewal application is received, the department may renew the license to operate provided the program has submitted the local health and safety approvals required under RSA 170-E:6. The department shall examine the premises and program operations no later than 30 days after the program reopens.
