  • (a) The Division shall utilize standards established by the Joint Commission on Hospital Accreditation, Chicago, Illinois, for approved treatment facilities that must be met for a treatment facility to be approved as a public or private treatment facility, and fix the fees to be charged by the Division for the required inspections. The standards may concern only the health standards to be met and standards of treatment to be afforded patients.

  • (b) The Division periodically shall inspect approved public and private treatment facilities at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner.

  • (c) Each approved public and private treatment facility shall file with the Division on request, data, statistics, schedules and information the Division reasonably requires. An approved public or private treatment facility that without good cause fails to furnish any data, statistics, schedules, or information as requested, or files fraudulent return thereof, shall be removed from the list of approved treatment facilities by the Commissioner of Health upon certification by the Director.

  • (d) After holding a hearing, the Commissioner may suspend, revoke, limit, or restrict an approval, or refuse to grant an approval, for failure to meet its standards.

  • (e) The Superior Court may restrain any violation of this section, review any denial, restriction, or revocation of approval, and grant other relief required to enforce its provisions.

  • (f) Upon petition of the Division and after a hearing held upon reasonable notice to the facility, the Superior Court may issue a warrant to an officer or employee of the Division authorizing him to enter and inspect at reasonable times, and examine the books and accounts of, any approved public or private treatment facility refusing to consent to inspection or examination by the Division or which the Division has reasonable cause to believe is operating in violation of this chapter.
