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.

12134) Respondent has not answered the discovery.

12205) On July 12, 2016, the Court entered an Order Closing File and

1233Relinquishing Jurisdiction on the basis that the parties had failed to

1244file a status report by June 30, 2016 and therefore the Court

1256concluded that this cause had been amicably resolved (Ex. 1).

12666) On or about November of 2016, the Agency sent a settlement agreement

1279to opposing counsel which Respondent was suppose to execute.

1298Page I of2 EXHIBIT 2

1303Agency has sent multiple requests to opposing counsel.

13117) Respondent's license {ALF license 12192) expired on May 23, 2016.

1322Respondent did not renew the license.

13288) Therefore, Respondent no longer has a license.

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.
