(a)  Inspection results for hotels, food service establishments and swimming pools shall be recorded on standard departmental forms that summarize the requirements of the law and rules and regulations.

(b)  (1)  The scoring system shall include a weighted point value for each requirement in which critical requirements are assigned values of four (4) and five (5) points, with less critical items having assigned values of one (1) and two (2) points.

     (2)  The rating score of the facilities shall be the total of the weighted point values for all violations subtracted from one hundred (100).

(c)  A copy of the completed inspection report shall be furnished to the person in charge of the facility at the conclusion of the inspection.

(d)  The most current inspection report furnished to the operator or person in charge of the establishment shall be posted in a conspicuous manner. If any violation noted on the report is required to be corrected within ten (10) days of the issuance of the report and a routine follow-up inspection shows that the violation has been corrected within the period of time, then a final report without notation of the violation shall be furnished to the operator or person in charge of the resturant and the report shall be posted in lieu of the original report.
