What is a potential consequence of a facility failing to renew its license?

A facility that fails to renew its license is at risk of immediate closure as it is no longer authorized to operate legally. Licensing is a vital aspect of regulatory compliance, ensuring that facilities meet the required standards of operation, safety, and quality. Without a valid license, a facility cannot operate within the bounds of the law, leading to an enforced cessation of activities to protect public health and safety. This immediate closure is typically a consequence of non-compliance with regulatory requirements, emphasizing the critical importance of timely license renewal to maintain operational status and avoid disruption of services.
