DADS has the ability to deny the renewal of a license when an agency has submitted an incomplete renewal application. DADS may also deny a license if the applicant, the manager of the applicant, the affiliate of the applicant, or any person required to submit background and qualification information fails to comply with the statutes or licensing regulations; knowingly aids, abets, or permits another person to violate the statutes or licensing regulations; or fails to meet the criteria for a HCSSA license.
