Refusal to allow HFSRB/CHD-RLED to conduct inspection or monitoring visits of the CL may result in what?

• A. CL may be Sanctioned or Penalized
• B. CL may be warned but not sanctioned
• C. CL may be exempt from penalties
• D. CL may be awarded a commendation

Answer: (A)

Regulators rely on inspections to verify adherence to safety and quality standards. Refusing to allow an inspection or monitoring visit obstructs regulatory oversight and signals a risk to public health. Because cooperation is required for licensure and ongoing operation, such refusal is treated as non-compliance and can lead to sanctions or penalties, like fines or suspension of the permit. A warning isn’t sufficient for this level of non-cooperation, and exemptions or commendations don’t fit a violation of inspection access.
