Sec. 21605.

(1) An individual or entity seeking a permit to operate a mobile dental facility shall submit an application on a form provided by the department.

(2) An application submitted to the department under subsection (1) shall include a registration fee in an amount determined by the department but not more than the cost of a dental license renewal fee.

(3) A permit is valid for 3 years and an application for renewal may be submitted not later than the last day of the month in which the permit expires upon submission of proof to the department of compliance with the requirements of this part. A permit application that is not timely filed is subject to a late fee in an amount determined by the department as the additional cost of processing the late renewal, but not more than a dental license late renewal fee.

(4) A permit shall not be issued unless the applying individual or entity is in compliance with all applicable requirements of this part.

(5) A permit issued under this part is not transferrable. If the operator of the mobile dental facility changes, the permit is no longer valid. However, if an application for a new permit to continue operating the mobile dental facility is submitted not later than 30 days after the change of operator, the former permit is valid as an interim permit until the application is approved or denied, but not longer than 90 days.

(6) The department shall either approve or deny an application for a permit under this part not later than 60 days after receiving the application.
