When a day training and habilitation program serves more than 50 percent of the same people in two or more locations in a community, the day training and habilitation program is required to pay a license fee based on the licensed capacity of the largest facility and the other facility or facilities are charged a license fee based on a licensed capacity of a residential program serving one to 24 people. A program without a stated licensed capacity is required to pay a license fee of $400.

The commissioner cannot issue a license or certification until the license or certification fee is paid.
