Sec. 3-110. (a) Any license granted by the Director shall state the maximum bed capacity for which it is granted, the date the license was issued, and the expiration date. Except as provided in subsection (b), such licenses shall normally be issued for a period of one year. However, the Director may issue licenses or renewals for periods of not less than 6 months nor more than 18 months for facilities with annual licenses and not less than 18 months nor more than 30 months for facilities with 2-year licenses in order to distribute the expiration dates of such licenses throughout the calendar year, and fees for such licenses shall be prorated on the basis of the portion of a year for which they are issued. Each license shall be issued only for the premises and persons named in the application and shall not be transferable or assignable.

The Department shall require the licensee to comply with the requirements of a court order issued under Section 3-515, as a condition of licensing.

(b) A license for a period of 2 years shall be issued to a facility if the facility:

(1) has not received a Type A violation within the last 24 months;

(2) has not received a Type B violation within the last 24 months;

(3) has not had an inspection, survey, or evaluation that resulted in the issuance of 10 or more administrative warnings in the last 24 months;

(4) has not had an inspection, survey, or evaluation that resulted in an administrative warning issued for a violation of Sections 3-401 through 3-413 in the last 24 months;

(5) has not been issued an order to reimburse a resident for a violation of Article II under subsection (6) of Section 3-305 in the last 24 months; and

(6) has not been subject to sanctions or decertification for violations in relation to patient care of a facility under Titles XVIII and XIX of the federal Social Security Act within the last 24 months.

If a facility with a 2-year license fails to meet the conditions in items (1) through (6) of this subsection, in addition to any other sanctions that may be applied by the Department under this Act, the facility's 2-year license shall be replaced by a one-year license until such time as the facility again meets the conditions in items (1) through (6) of this subsection.
