(1) Upon receipt of a completed application packet for license or renewal of license and completion of a licensing assessment, the department shall determine whether the applicant meets all requirements for licensure as established in these rules. A completed packet consists of all items on the checklist required for initial licensure or renewal except for the home assessment.

(2) If the department determines that an application or accompanying information is incomplete or erroneous, the department shall notify the applicant in writing of the specific deficiencies or errors, and the applicant shall submit the required or corrected information within 60 days. The department may not issue a regular license or renew a license until it receives all required or corrected information.

(3) An applicant's or licensee's failure to provide information they are obligated to provide may result in the denial of the application or, if a license has been issued, may result in other negative licensing action.
