Section 8.370.15.15 - LICENSE RENEWAL

A. A licensee must submit a renewal application, electronically, if available, or on forms authorized by the licensing authority, along with the required license fee at least 30 days prior to expiration of the current license. The applicant shall certify that the boarding home complies with all applicable state and federal regulations in force at the time of renewal. The authority reserves the right to require that a renewal applicant provide all additional documents, including any necessary proof of current compliance by licensee with these regulations and all applicable state and federal statutes and regulations, as part of its license renewal application for the authority to determine whether the applicant and the boarding home are in full compliance with these regulations.

B. Upon receipt of the renewal application and the required fee, the licensing authority will issue a new license effective the day following the date of expiration of the current license, if the boarding home is in substantial compliance with these regulations and all other applicable state and federal regulations.

C. If the existing license expires and the licensee has failed to submit a renewal application, the authority may charge the applicant a civil monetary penalty of $200, in accordance with Section 24-1-5.2 NMSA 1978, as amended, providing that during such time the boarding home remains in full compliance with these regulations. If the boarding home does not renew its license and continues to operate without paying civil monetary penalties and without being in full compliance with these regulations, the boarding home shall cease operations until it obtains a new license through the initial licensure procedures and shall still be required to pay civil monetary penalties. Under Section 24-1-5 NMSA 1978, as amended, no boarding home shall be operated without a license and any such failure may subject the operators to various sanctions and legal remedies, including at a minimum the imposition of civil monetary penalties.

D. It shall be the sole responsibility and liability of the licensee to be aware of the status, term and renewal date of its license. The licensing authority shall not be responsible to notify the boarding home of the renewal date or the expiration date of the boarding home's license.

E. After issuance of the initial license, if the boarding home is in substantial compliance with these regulations and provides an application and fee the boarding home may be issued a license renewal.
