(a) Any person, group of persons,
corporation,

youth unrelated to the operator must apply for a license to operate a secure

investigation of
persons responsible for care of youth, the Department is satisfied
that the facility and responsible persons reasonably meet standards
prescribed for the type of facility for which application is made, it
shall issue a license in proper form, designating on that license the
number of youth to be served at any one time.
(b) All applications shall be accompanied by an application fee as
prescribed by the Department. The fee shall be deposited into
the Secure Residential Youth Care Facility Fund, which is
created as a special fund in the State Treasury. Moneys in the Fund
shall be used by the Department for expenses related to the administration of
this Act and for no other purpose.
