(a) The commissioner shall identify a sufficient number of comprehensive centers to ensure adequate access to services in all regions of the state, provided that, to the extent possible, the commissioner shall identify such care centers geographically dispersed throughout the state, and provided further, however, that the commissioner shall, to the extent possible, initially identify at least three such centers.

(b) The commissioner's identification of a comprehensive care center for eating disorders under this article shall be valid for not more than a two year period from the date of issuance.  The commissioner may reissue such identifications for subsequent periods of up to five years, provided that the comprehensive care center has notified the commissioner of any material changes in structure or operation based on its original application, or since its last written notice by the commissioner, and that the commissioner is satisfied that the center continues to meet the criteria required pursuant to this article.

(c) The commissioner may suspend or revoke his or her written notice upon a determination that the comprehensive care center has not met, or would not be able to meet, the criteria required pursuant to this article, provided, however that the commissioner shall afford such center an opportunity for a hearing, in accordance section 31.17 of this chapter, to review the circumstances of and grounds for such suspension or revocation and to appeal such determination.
