492NOTICE OF FLORIDA LAW
496408.804 License required; display.--
500(1) It is unlawful to provide services that require licensure, or operate or maintain a provider that offers
518or provides services that require licensure, without first obtaining from the agency a license authorizing
533the provision of such services or the operation or maintenance of such provider.
546(2) A license must be displayed in a conspicuous place readily visible to clients who enter at the address
565that appears on the license and is valid only in the hands of the licensee to whom it is issued and may not
588be sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred, voluntarily or involuntarily. The license is valid only for the
604licensee, provider, and location for which the license is issued.
614408.812 Unlicensed activity.--
617( 1) A person or entity may not offer or advertise services that require licensure as defined by this part,
637authorizing statutes, or applicable rules to the public without obtaining a valid license from the agency.
653A licenseholder may not advertise or hold out to the public that he or she holds a license for other than
674that for which he or she actually holds the license.
684(2) The operation or maintenance of an unlicensed provider or the performance of any services that require
701licensure without proper licensure is a violation of this part and authorizing statutes. Unlicensed activity
716constitutes harm that materially affects the health, safety, and welfare of clients. The agency or any state
733attorney may, in addition to other remedies provided in this part, bring an action for an injunction to
751restrain such violation, or to enjoin the future operation or maintenance of the unlicensed provider or the
768performance of any services in violation of this part and authorizing statutes, until compliance with this
784part, authorizing statutes, and agency rules has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the agency.
799(3) It is unlawful for any person or entity to own, operate, or maintain an unlicensed provider. If after
818receiving notification from the agency, such person or entity fails to cease operation and apply for a license
836under this part and authorizing statutes, the person or entity shall be subject to penalties as prescribed by
854authorizing statutes and applicable rules. Each day of continued operation is a separate offense.
868(4) Any person or entity that fails to cease operation after agency notification may be fined $1,000 for
887each day of noncompliance.
891(5) When a controlling interest or licensee has an interest in more than one provider and fails to license a
911provider rendering services that require licensure, the agency may revoke all licenses and impose actions
926under s. 408.814 and a fine of $1,000 per day, unless otherwise specified by authorizing statutes, against
944each licensee until such time as the appropriate license is obtained for the unlicensed operation.
959(6) In addition to granting injunctive relief pursuant to subsection (2), if the agency determines that a
976person or entity is operating or maintaining a provider without obtaining a license and determines that a
993condition exists that poses a threat to the health, safety, or welfare of a client of the provider, the person
1013or entity is subject to the same actions and fines imposed against a licensee as specified in this part,
1032authorizing statutes, and agency rules.
1037(7) Any person aware of the operation of an unlicensed provider must report that provider to the agency.

1528ORDER ON MOTION FOR AN ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE lAS I TO WHY THIS
1542CASE SHOULD NOT BE CLOSED AS MOOT OR CONSIDERED TO HAVE
1553BEEN ABANDONED
1555THIS CAUSE came before the office of the Agency Clerk on Petitioner's Motion for
1569an Order to Show Cause [as] to why this Case should not be Closed as Moot or Considered to
1588have been Abandoned ("Motion") in the above-styled case.
1598Upon review of the Motion, and noting the fact that Respondent did not file any
1613response to the Motion, the undersigned finds that the issuance of an order to show cause in
1630this matter is not necessary. It is clear from Respondent's inaction that Respondent has
1644abandoned this matter. Thus, it is proper for the Agency to enter a final order upholding the
1661Agency's February 23,2016 Administrative Complaint as final.
1669IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED AND ADJUDGED THAT:
1676The Motion is denied. Instead, the Agency shall enter a final order dismissing
1689Respondent's Answer and Request for Formal Hearing with prejudice due to abandonment,
1701and upholding the Agency's February 23, 2016 Administrative Complaint as fmal.
