Suspension or correction

1. The department may require immediate suspension of a child-placing agency license. a. A child-placing agency may submit a written request for review to the department if its license is suspended. The written request must include a statement of the disputed facts and the name, address, and telephone number of the individual to be contacted regarding the review. b. The request for review must be received by the department within five working days after the child-placing agency receives written notice of the suspension. The child-placing agency may submit supporting documents or affidavits for the department to consider during its review. c. The department shall complete its review of the files, records, and other information received from the child-placing agency and issue its decision within thirty days after the department receives the child-placing agency's request for review. d. The department's decision constitutes the final determination of the suspension. If the department concludes that the child-placing agency made a false or misleading report to the department, the department will issue a notice of revocation of the child-placing agency's license. 2. The department may require immediate correction of a violation of North Dakota Century Code chapter 50-11 or this chapter. The child-placing agency has twenty days to correct any violations. All time periods under this section commence on the third day after the department mails notice of the correction order to the child-placing agency. Upon written request by the child-placing agency and upon showing need for an extension created by circumstances beyond the control of the child-placing agency and documentation that the child-placing agency has diligently pursued correction of the violation, the department may grant extensions of time to correct violations. 3. The department may inform the public of a child-placing agency correction order or suspension status.
