Indiana Code Title 12. Human Services § 12-17.2-2-15

(1) Allow an owner to make a single license application for one (1) or more child care centers and assign each owner's license a unique license number.

(2) Allow an owner to pay a single licensure fee even if applying for multiple child care center locations, which must be equal to the fee that the owner would pay for each separate child care license under section 2 of this chapter.

(3) Assign each owner a separate location number for each facility.

(4) Monitor each facility separately by location number to ensure that each facility separately meets important health and safety standards.

(5) Inspect each location number separately for compliance, create separate plans of correction for each location number, and provide location number based enforcement that does not affect the other location numbers.

(6) Provide maximum flexibility to an owner when the owner is considering adding new locations to serve a community's need for licensed child care.

(7) Reduce redundancy in the application process for an owner.

(8) Reduce the administrative burden to the state in reviewing multiple licenses for a single owner.

(9) Consider the maximum efficiencies for the organizational license holder to drive down operational costs for the child care center owner.
