The state department shall notify any clinic of all deficiencies in its compliance with the provisions of this chapter or the rules and regulations adopted hereunder, which are discovered or confirmed by inspection, and the clinic shall agree with the state department upon a plan of correction which shall give the clinic a reasonable time to correct such deficiencies. During such allotted time, a list of deficiencies and the plan of correction shall be conspicuously posted in a clinic location accessible to public view.
If at the end of the allotted time, as provided in the plan of correction, the clinic has failed to correct the deficiencies, the state department shall assess the licensee a civil penalty not to exceed fifty dollars ($50) per day, until the state department finds the clinic in compliance. In such case, the state department may also initiate action against the clinic to revoke or suspend the license. Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to prohibit a clinic which is unable to correct the deficiencies, as specified in a plan of corrections, for reasons beyond its control from voluntarily surrendering its license pursuant to Section 1245 prior to the assessment of any civil penalty or the initiation of any revocation or suspension proceeding.
