Section R9-14-606 - Provisional Licensing

A. The Department may issue a provisional license to a licensee when the Department suspends the licensee's regular license because of deficiencies identified in an investigation, laboratory inspection, or proficiency testing, or any combination of the three, if the licensee agrees to carry out a corrective action plan acceptable to the Department to eliminate the deficiencies.

B. In determining whether to issue a provisional license, the Department shall consider:

1. The nature of the deficiencies upon which the suspension is based;

2. The licensee's history of compliance with A.R.S. Title 36, Chapter 4.3 and this Article;

3. The extent to which the public health and safety may be impacted by the continued operation of the laboratory with a provisional license; and

4. The extent to which the public's interests are served by allowing the licensee the opportunity to correct the deficiencies and continue operating with a provisional license.

C. The Department shall issue an amended list of parameters for a provisional license.

D. A licensee shall return its regular license to the Department within 14 days after receiving written notification of license suspension.

F. A licensee with a provisional license may submit an application to obtain a regular initial license according to R9-14-603 at least 30 days before the provisional license expires.

G. The Department shall issue a regular initial license as described in subsection (F) only upon determining that a licensee is in full compliance with the corrective action plan developed according to subsection (A); A.R.S. Title 36, Chapter 4.3; and this Article.
