    6         (10) The agency may not issue an initial license, other

    8  under part III of chapter 400 or this part until July 1, 2010,
    9  in any county that has at least one actively licensed home

   14  application received by the agency before July 1, 2009, which
   15  has been deemed by the agency to be complete except for proof of
   16  accreditation, the agency may issue an initial or a change of
   17  ownership license only if the applicant applied for
   18  accreditation from an accrediting organization that is
   19  recognized by the agency before May 1, 2009.
