§ 72203. Fee.

(a) Each application for a license shall be accompanied by the prescribed fee as authorized by Health and Safety Code, section 1266.

(1) No fee shall be refunded to the applicant if the application is withdrawn or if the application is denied by the Department.

(2) An additional fee of $25.00 shall be paid for processing any change of name. However, no additional fee shall be charged for any change of name which is processed upon a renewal application or upon application filed because of a change of ownership.

(b) Application fees for licenses which cover periods in excess of 12 months shall be prorated on the basis of the total number of months to be licensed divided by 12 months.

(c) Applications for provisional licenses (for six-month periods) shall be subject to the full amount of the fee as authorized by Health and Safety Code, section 1266(e)(2). If upon the expiration of the provisional license a second provisional (six-month period) license is to be issued, the licensee shall receive credit for the unused portion of the fee collected and no additional fee will be required of the licensee. If a regular license is issued upon the expiration of the first provisional license, the unused portion of the fee collected for the provisional license shall be credited against the annual fee required for the regular license. If neither a second provisional or a regular license is to be issued to the applicant, there will be no refund of any portion of the fee paid for the provisional license.

(d) When there is an increase in licensed bed capacity or a change of classification of licensure, license fees already paid that year shall be credited against the total fee due for the new bed capacity.
