10A NCAC 09 .0204. CHANGES REQUIRING ISSUANCE OF A NEW LICENSE

(a)  When the operator, as defined in Rule .0102, of a licensed child care center changes, the new operator must apply for a new license at least 30 days prior to assuming ownership of the center.  A child care license cannot be bought, sold, or transferred by one operator to another.

(b)  When a licensed child care center is to be moved from one location to another, the licensee must apply for a license for the new physical location as prescribed in Section .0300 of this Subchapter.  The licensee must obtain the new license prior to occupying the new location.  A child care license is not transferable from one location to another.

(c)  When a licensee desires to change the licensed capacity of a center, the licensee must notify the Division.

(1)           If the licensee wishes to increase the licensed capacity by using space not currently approved for child care, the Division shall provide the licensee with appropriate forms to request approval.  Once the additional space is approved, a new license shall be issued to reflect the increase in licensed capacity.

(2)           If a licensee wishes to increase the center's licensed capacity by using space that is already approved for child care, the Division shall, upon request, issue a new license showing the increase.

(3)           If a licensee wishes to decrease the center's licensed capacity, the Division shall, upon request, issue a new license reflecting the decrease.

(d)  When a licensee decides to conform with requirements in order to remove a restriction on the age or number of children who can be served in the center, the licensee shall notify the Division.  The Division shall supply forms for the licensee to use to obtain approval from the local inspectors, if necessary.  When the Division is notified that the center conforms with all applicable requirements, a new license, without the restriction, shall be issued.
