    §  2799-h.  State  identification  of  comprehensive  care centers for
  eating disorders; commissioner's written  notice.  1.  The  commissioner
  shall  identify  a  sufficient number of comprehensive centers to ensure
  adequate access to services in all regions of the state, provided  that,
  to  the  extent  possible,  the  commissioner  shall  identify such care
  centers geographically dispersed  throughout  the  state,  and  provided
  further,  however,  that the commissioner shall, to the extent possible,
  initially identify at least three such centers.
    2. The commissioner's identification of a  comprehensive  care  center
  for eating disorders under this article shall be valid for not more than
  a  two  year  period  from  the  date  of issuance. The commissioner may
  reissue such identifications for subsequent periods of up to two  years,
  provided   that   the   comprehensive   care  center  has  notified  the
  commissioner of any material changes in structure or operation based  on
  its  original  application,  or  since  its  last  written notice by the
  commissioner, and that the commissioner is  satisfied  that  the  center
  continues to meet the criteria required pursuant to this article.
    3.  The  commissioner  may suspend or revoke his or her written notice
  upon a determination that the comprehensive care center has not met,  or
  would  not  be  able  to  meet,  the  criteria required pursuant to this
  article, provided, however  that  the  commissioner  shall  afford  such
  center an opportunity for a hearing, in accordance with section twelve-a
  of  this  chapter,  to  review the circumstances of and grounds for such
  suspension or revocation and to appeal such determination.
