Application for registration for operation of a family day care home shall be made on forms provided by the Department of Social Services and in the manner prescribed by the department. The secretary of social services shall promulgate rules regulating family day care homes providing services paid for directly or indirectly out of public funds. The rules shall be promulgated pursuant to chapter 1-26. However, the rules and the registration required by § 26-6-14.1 do not apply to family day care homes providing services not paid for directly or indirectly out of public funds. The department may investigate any family day care home providing services paid for directly or indirectly out of public funds to verify compliance with this chapter and the rules promulgated pursuant to this chapter. All registration certificates shall be in force for two years from the date of issuance unless revoked as authorized by § 26-6-23. The certificate issued under this chapter may not be assigned or transferred and applies only to the certificate and the location stated in the application and remains the property of the Department of Social Services.
