65C-15.0041. Corrective Action Plan

(1) A corrective action plan (CAP) must be imposed on the child-placing agency when a violation of licensing standards has occurred, and the child-placing agency has the ability to understand and correct the infraction. (2) Corrective action plans are not created for child-placing agencies who have previously committed licensing violations and were unable to benefit from the remedial efforts. The Department may seek action to revoke the license. (3) The child-placing agency must submit a written CAP to the Department within seven calendar days from the date of receipt of the inspection. The CAP must be signed by the chief executive officer or designee of the child-placing agency. (a) The CAP must include the following: 1. Identify the violation; 2. The actions the child-placing agency will take to correct each of the violations identified; 3. The date by which the violation must be corrected; and 4. The actions the child-placing agency will take to ensure the violation identified does not occur again. (b) The Department will reject any proposed CAP that fails to identify all the information described in paragraph (3)(a) of this rule or reflects a plan of action that does not address the violation(s). If the Department rejects a proposed CAP, the Department must notify the child-placing agency in writing of the reasons for rejection and require the submission of an amended CAP addressing the deficiency or deficiencies within five calendar days of receipt of the Department’s notice rejecting the CAP. Failure to submit a CAP that is sufficient for Department approval within 30 days of the inspection completion date may be considered non-compliant and be subject to administrative action. (4) Once the CAP is approved by the Department, the date to resolve all violations in the corrective action plan must not exceed 30 days from the inspection completion date, unless a date is directed or extended by the Department. (5) The Department may deny, suspend, or revoke a license when the child-placing agency does not complete the CAP successfully.
