Title 38 - Public Welfare.
Chapter 7 - Child Care.
Section 38-7-10 - License to operate or conduct child-care facility - Investigation of operation without license; report to attorney general for prosecution.
Whenever the department is advised or has reason to believe that any person, group of persons or corporation is operating a child-care facility without a license or an approval or a six-month permit, it may make an investigation to ascertain the fact. If it finds that the child-care facility is being operated or has operated without a license or an approval or a six-month permit, it shall report the results of its investigation to the Attorney General and to the appropriate district attorney for prosecution; provided, however, that the department may delay in making said report to the Attorney General for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 60 days, in order to give the person, group of persons or corporation operating the child-care facility reasonable opportunity to apply for a license or an approval or a six-month permit, and, therefore, to meet the standards prescribed in this chapter.
