048-13 Wyo. Code R. §§ 13-9 - Denying, Revoking, or Placing Conditions on a License

(a) The Licensing Division may refuse to license a home if any employee of the home, or anyone living in the home, has been convicted of a felony which may indicate, that he may abuse a resident client or that he may steal from a resident client.

(b) The Licensing Office will provide fifteen (15) days notice prior to revoking a license unless it finds that conditions in an Adult Foster Home pose a substantial and immediate threat to the health or safety of resident clients and require immediate action and suspension of the license in order to protect the resident clients. In such a case, the licensee shall be afforded an opportunity for a hearing within ten (10) days after the suspension.

(c) The Department may, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing, revoke or suspend any license issued pursuant to these rules and the enabling legislation; it may prohibit an adult foster home from accepting new resident clients; it may place conditions on the continuation of a license; or it may require a home to take specified remedial actions within a specified time, if any of the following have occurred or are occurring:

(i) There is a threat to the health, safety or welfare of any resident client.

(ii) There is credible evidence of abuse, neglect or exploitation of any resident client, per W.S. 35-20-102 through 35-20-116.

(iii) The home is not operated in compliance with these rules and regulations or with the enabling legislation.

(d) If, in the professional judgment of the state health officer, there is a clear and present threat to the health or safety of a resident client, the state health officer may immediately close an adult foster home and transfer the resident clients to another appropriate placement. The Department shall initiate any other appropriate actions pursuant to the above paragraph within three (3) working days.
