NOTICE OF FLORIDA LAW

408.804 License required; display.--

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

408.812 Unlicensed activity.--

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

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

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

that for which he or she actually holds the license.

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

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

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

attorney may, in addition to other remedies provided in this part, bring an action for an injunction to

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

performance of any services in violation of this part and authorizing statutes, until compliance with this

part, authorizing statutes, and agency rules has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the agency.

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

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

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

authorizing statutes and applicable rules. Each day of continued operation is a separate offense.

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

each day of noncompliance.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

authorizing statutes, and agency rules.

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