A. The Department of Human Services may issue a conditional license to any sheltered workshop if the Department finds that a violation exists in such sheltered workshop. The issuance of a conditional license shall revoke any license held by the sheltered workshop issued pursuant to the Sheltered Workshop Act. B. Prior to the issuance of a conditional license, the Department shall review and approve a written plan of correction. The Department shall specify the violations which prevent issuance of a regular license and shall establish a time schedule for correction of the deficiencies. Retention of the license shall be conditional on meeting the requirements of the plan of correction. In the alternative or in addition to a conditional license, the Director of the Department of Human Services may withhold vendor payments due to a sheltered workshop under its programs until such time as the corrections are made or a plan of correction for all deficiencies is approved by the Department. C. Written notice of the decision to issue a conditional license shall be sent to the sheltered workshop together with the proposed plan of correction. The notice shall inform the sheltered workshop of its right to an informal conference prior to issuance of the conditional license and its right to a full hearing. D. If the sheltered workshop desires to have an informal conference it shall, within four (4) working days of receipt of notice, send a written request for an informal conference to the Department. The Department shall, within four (4) working days from the receipt of the request, hold an informal conference. Following the conference, the Department may affirm or overrule its previous decision, or modify the terms of the conditional license and plan of correction. The conditional license may be issued after the informal conference or after the time for requesting an informal conference has expired, prior to any further hearing.
