A conditional license is issued if:

A conditional license is issued when the department determines that a violation exists but believes the applicant can rectify the issues within a specified timeframe. This type of license allows the facility to operate while addressing these deficiencies, ensuring that necessary improvements are made to meet regulatory standards. It serves as a temporary measure, giving the facility an opportunity to comply with licensing regulations.

In cases where the applicant submits incomplete documents, a conditional license would not typically be issued because the regulatory bodies require complete documentation to assess compliance fully. Likewise, if the department finds no violations, a standard, unconditioned license would be granted, indicating that the facility meets all necessary requirements. Lastly, simply being a new facility does not automatically justify the need for a conditional license, as new facilities can meet the requirements and receive a standard license without issues.
