2005 Vermont Code - § 2057. — Licensing

§ 2057. Licensing

(a) The board shall license nursing home administrators in accordance with rules and regulations issued, and from time to time revised, by it. A nursing home administrator's license may not be transferred and shall be valid until surrendered for cancellation or suspended or revoked for violation of this chapter or any other laws or regulations relating to the proper administration and management of a nursing home. Denial of issuance or renewal, suspension or revocation under any section of this chapter shall be appealable to a superior court.

(b) Every holder of a nursing home administrator's license shall renew it biennially, by making application to the board. Renewals of licenses shall be granted as a matter of course, unless the board finds, after due notice and hearing, that the applicant has acted or failed to act in such manner, or under circumstances, as would constitute grounds for suspension or revocation of a license. The board may by rule require that a license holder complete not more than 40 hours of approved instruction every two years as a condition of renewal. (Added 1969, No. 248 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff.
