Current through Vol. 42, No. 7, December 16, 2024

Section 310:663-21-2 - Deadlines for filing and period of license validity

(a) The application for establishment of a continuum of care facility or assisted living center shall be filed at or before the time when the application for an initial license is filed. Provided, however, that an application for establishment is not required in conjunction with the transfer of ownership or operation of a facility or center that is currently licensed under the Act and OAC 310:663.

(b) The license application shall be filed in accordance with the following deadlines.

(1) The application for an initial license of a new continuum of care facility or assisted living center shall be filed at least thirty (30) days before beginning operations.

(2) The application for an initial license, following a transfer of ownership or operation, shall be filed at least thirty (30) days before the final transfer. In the case of the appointment of a receiver as operator, this thirty (30) day advance filing requirement may be waived if the Department finds that an emergency exists which threatens the welfare of the residents. If an emergency is found to exist, the receiver shall file the license application before beginning operation of the assisted living center or continuum of care facility.

(3) The application for renewal of the license of an existing continuum of care facility or assisted living center, with no transfer of ownership or operation, shall be filed by the renewal date specified on the existing license.

(c)The renewal license shall expire three (3) years from the date of issuance. An initial license shall expire one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of issuance. Renewal licenses may be issued for a period of more than twelve (12) months, but not more than thirty-six (36) months, for the license period immediately following November 1, 2021, in order to permit an equitable distribution of license expiration dates.
