Sec. 248A.202.  PROBATION.  (a)  If the department finds that a center is in repeated noncompliance with this chapter, rules adopted under this chapter, or a corrective action plan, but that the noncompliance does not endanger a minor served by the center or the public health and safety, the department may schedule the center for probation rather than suspending or revoking the center's license.
(b)  The department shall provide notice to the center of the probation and of the items of noncompliance not later than the 10th day before the date the probation period begins.
(c)  The department shall designate a period of not less than 30 days during which the center will remain under probation.  During the probation period, the center must correct the items that were in noncompliance and report the corrections to the department for approval.
(d)  The department may suspend or revoke the license of a center that does not correct items that were in noncompliance or does not comply with this chapter or the rules adopted under this chapter within the applicable probation period.
