§ 501.6. Exceptions.
(a) The Department may, within its discretion and for good reason, grant an exception to the standards when the policy objective of those standards is met in existing facilities. The request for an exception shall be made in writing by the facility.
(b) Exceptions will be granted to the standards for physical plant and environment only if the facility is unable to comply because of structural features, which preclude modification, and if the rights, privacy, health and safety of the patients are not jeopardized.
