When a licensee decides to conform with requirements in order to remove a restriction on the age or number of children who can be served in the center, the licensee shall arrange for inspections of the center by the Division and the local health, building, and fire inspectors in accordance with G.S. 110-91(1), (4), and (5). Once the licensee submits documentation that the center conforms to all applicable sanitation, building, and fire standards, and if all applicable requirements of G.S. 110, Article 7 and this Chapter are met, the Division shall issue a new license without the restriction.
