Child Care Licensing Procedure Manual
Typically, enforcement actions are sent regular and certified mail. With the concurrence of the licensing manager/licensing supervisor, however, the Notice of Temporary Suspension of the License should be hand-delivered to the licensee. This is necessary because the temporary license suspension needs to occur as soon as possible. Depending on the circumstances, the licensing manager/licensing supervisor or another specialist may need to accompany the licensing specialist to the facility for hand-delivery of the notice. The licensing specialist must document the date, time and persons involved in the hand-delivery. If possible, it is advisable to have the licensee sign a Delivery of Document Receipt. A standardized format for this receipt is available on the BECR Intranet. If the licensee refuses the hand-delivery, the notice is left at the location. The person accompanying the licensing specialist serves as a witness to the delivery and signs the Delivery of Document Receipt. Note: The 10-day deadline for the licensee to appeal the temporary license suspension begins on the date the witness signs the Delivery of Document Receipt (See section 5 Due Process Related to Temporary Suspension of the License.). All delivery/receipt documentation must be uploaded into WISCCRS.
