Illinois Statutes Chapter 730. Corrections § 175/45-55. License renewal

(a) A licensed secure residential youth care facility must apply for renewal of its license to the Department on forms prescribed by the Department.

(b) The Department, or a suitable agency or person designated by the Department as its agent, must re-examine every secure residential youth care facility applying for renewal of its license, including an examination of the premises and records of the facility as the Department considers necessary to determine that minimum standards for licensing continue to be met. If the Department is satisfied that the facility continues to maintain the minimum standards that it prescribes and publishes, it shall renew the license to operate the facility.

(c) If a secure residential youth care facility's license is revoked, or if the Department refuses to renew a facility's license, the facility may not reapply for a license before the expiration of 12 months following the Department's action; however, the denial of a reapplication for a license under this subsection must be supported by evidence that the prior revocation renders the applicant unqualified or incapable of satisfying the standards and rules promulgated by the Department under this Act or maintaining a facility which adheres to those standards and rules.
