(b) Before expiration of a biennial license, the department or its representative shall inspect a facility or agency that is the subject of a renewal application.

(c) The department shall renew a biennial license if the department finds that

(1) the licensee

(A) either is in compliance with this chapter and regulations adopted under this chapter or is substantially in compliance and has implemented a plan of correction, approved by the department, that is designed to bring the facility or agency into full compliance; and

(B) has maintained the facility or agency in good repair and is in compliance with all state fire safety and environmental health and safety code requirements;

(e) If the department decides to approve an application for renewal, but finds that the applicant is not in compliance with a provision of this chapter, a regulation adopted under this chapter, or a condition on the license, the department, as a condition on the renewed biennial license, shall require the applicant to correct any violations and provide the department with verification of compliance.
