292NOTICE OF FLORIDA LAW

296408.804 License required; display.--

300(1) It is unlawful to provide services that require licensure, or operate or maintain a provider that offers

318or provides services that require licensure, without first obtaining from the agency a license authorizing

333the provision of such services or the operation or maintenance of such provider.

346(2) A license must be displayed in a conspicuous place readily visible to clients who enter at the address

365that appears on the license and is valid only in the hands of the licensee to whom it is issued and may not

388be sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred, voluntarily or involuntarily. The license is valid only for the

404licensee, provider, and location for which the license is issued.

414408.812 Unlicensed activity.--

417(1) A person or entity may not offer or advertise services that require licensure as defined by this part,

436authorizing statutes, or applicable rules to the public without obtaining a valid license from the agency.

452A licenseholder may not advertise or hold out to the public that he or she holds a license for other than

473that for which he or she actually holds the license.

483(2) The operation or maintenance of an unlicensed provider or the performance of any services that

499require licensure without proper licensure is a violation of this part and authorizing statutes. Unlicensed

514activity constitutes harm that materially affects the health, safety, and welfare of clients. The agency or

530any state attorney may, in addition to other remedies provided in this part, bring an action for an

548injunction to restrain such violation, or to enjoin the future operation or maintenance of the unlicensed

564provider or the performance of any services in violation of this part and authorizing statutes, until

580compliance with this part, authorizing statutes, and agency rules has been demonstrated to the

594satisfaction of the agency.

598(3) It is unlawful for any person or entity to own, operate, or maintain an unlicensed provider. If after

617receiving notification from the agency, such person or entity fails to cease operation and apply for a

634license under this part and authorizing statutes, the person or entity shall be subject to penalties as

651prescribed by authorizing statutes and applicable rules. Each day of continued operation is a separate

666offense.

667(4) Any person or entity that fails to cease operation after agency notification may be fined $1,000 for

686each day of noncompliance.

690(5) When a controlling interest or licensee has an interest in more than one provider and fails to license

709a provider rendering services that require licensure, the agency may revoke all licenses and impose

724actions under s. 408.814 and a fine of$1,000 per day, unless otherwise specified by authorizing statutes,

741against each licensee until such time as the appropriate license is obtained for the unlicensed operation.

757(6) In addition to granting injunctive relief pursuant to subsection (2), if the agency determines that a

774person or entity is operating or maintaining a provider without obtaining a license and determines that a

791condition exists that poses a threat to the health, safety, or welfare of a client of the provider, the person

811or entity is subject to the same actions and fines imposed against a licensee as specified in this part,

830authorizing statutes, and agency rules.

835(7) Any person aware of the operation of an unlicensed provider must report that provider to the

852agency.
