A community care residence licensed by the Department of Human Services pursuant to N.J.A.C.10:44B-1.1 et seq. shall be subject to the following provisions:
a. If, as a result of an annual inspection of a community care residence by the Office of Licensing that allows for inquiry into the facilities, records, equipment, sanitary conditions, accommodations, and management of an individual with a developmental disability as required by N.J.A.C.10:44B-1.1 et seq., a licensee is required to provide a plan of correction and that plan has not been successfully implemented, as determined by the supervisor of the case manager of the individual or the office, within 30 days of the date that the licensee submitted the plan to the office, an individual with a developmental disability residing in that residence shall be removed from the residence if the supervisor, in consultation with the office, determines that the licensee's failure to implement the plan of correction threatens the health and well-being of the individual with the developmental disability.
b. If the health, safety, or well-being of an individual with a developmental disability residing in a community care residence is threatened because of a licensee's noncompliance with the standards adopted by regulation of the department, the individual with a developmental disability shall be removed from the residence, and the licensee shall be subject to negative licensing action by the Office of Licensing.
c. (1) The department shall have the authority to impose a penalty in an amount of $350 per day on the licensee for a repeated failure to implement a required plan of correction. The penalty shall be payable to the Treasurer of the State of New Jersey and shall be used to provide food and care to individuals with developmental disabilities residing in community care residences.
(2) If the department determines that a repeated failure to implement a required plan of correction endangers the health and well-being of an individual with a developmental disability, the department may, upon notice and after hearing, revoke the license issued to operate a community care residence.
