10 all each service components component that is operated by a
11 service provider and defined pursuant to s. 397.311(26). The
12 license is valid only for the specific service components listed
13 for each specific location identified on the license. The
14 licensed service provider shall apply for a new license at least
15 60 days before the addition of any service components and obtain
16 approval prior to initiating additional services. The licensed
17 service provider must notify the department and provide any
18 required documentation at least or 30 days before the relocation
19 of any of its service sites. Provision of service components or
20 delivery of services at a location not identified on the license
21 may be considered an unlicensed operation that authorizes the
22 department to seek an injunction against operation as provided
23 in s. 397.401, in addition to other sanctions authorized by s.
24 397.415. Probationary and regular licenses may be issued only
25 after all required information has been submitted. A license may
26 not be transferred. As used in this subsection, the term
27 “transfer” includes, but is not limited to, the transfer of a
28 majority of the ownership interest in the licensed entity or
29 transfer of responsibilities under the license to another entity
30 by contractual arrangement.
31 (10) A separate license is required for each service
32 component maintained by the service provider.
