CHAPTER 380 An Act to amend and reenact § 63.1-196.1 of the Code of Virginia, relating to licensure of child welfare agencies. [H 513] Approved April 1, 2002

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 63.1-196.1 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 63.1-196.1. Renewal of license.

A. Every person issued a license required by § 63.1-196 which that has not been suspended or revoked shall renew such license prior to its expiration. All licensed facilities shall be inspected not less than twice annually and one of those inspections shall be unannounced.

Licenses issued to child-welfare agencies other than child day centers under this chapter may be issued for periods of up to three successive years from the date of issuance. The Commissioner may extend or shorten the duration of licensure periods whenever, in his sole discretion, it is administratively necessary to redistribute the workload for greater efficiency in staff utilization. Licenses issued to child day centers under this chapter shall have a duration of two years from date of issuance.

B. The activities, services and facilities of each applicant for renewal of his license shall be subject to an inspection or examination by the Commissioner to determine if he is in compliance with current standards of the State Board or Child Day-Care Council, whichever is applicable.
