(a) The department shall cease review of an application for a license if either of the following occur:
(1) An application for a license indicates, or the department determines during the application inspection process, that the applicant was issued a license under this article and the prior license was revoked within the preceding two years. The department shall cease any further review of the application until two years have elapsed from the date of the revocation.
(2) An application for a license indicates, or the department determines during the application inspection process, that the applicant was denied a license or had a license suspended under this article within the preceding year. The department shall cease any further review of the application until one year has elapsed from the date of the denial or suspension.
(b) The department may cease review of an application for license renewal if either of the following occur:
(1) The applicant has not paid the required license fee.
(2) The county in which the licensee is located certifies to the department’s satisfaction that there is no need for the narcotic treatment program because of a substantial decline in medically qualified narcotic treatment patients in the licensee’s catchment area, or clearly demonstrates that other applicants for licensure can provide more efficient, cost-effective, and sufficient narcotic treatment services in the catchment area, or that the license should not be renewed due to one of the grounds that are enumerated in Section 11839.9.
(c) Upon cessation of review, the license shall be permitted to expire by its own terms. However, if the licensee subsequently submits the items, the absence of which led to the cessation of review, the department may reinstate the license.
(d) Cessation of review shall not constitute a denial of the application for purposes of Sections 11839.8 and 11839.9.
