Okla. Admin. Code § 310:675-3-1.1

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

Section 310:675-3-1.1 - Application for licensure

(a) No person or entity shall operate a facility without first obtaining a license.

(b) The applicant shall file a licensure application in a timely manner, on the forms provided by the Department, with a check for the filing fee payable to the Oklahoma State Department of Health. The filing fee is set by statute, and currently is calculated as Ten Dollars ($10.00) per licensed bed.

(c) The facility owner shall be the applicant for the license, unless a receiver has been appointed. If there is a receiver, the receiver shall be the applicant.

(d) If the facility is leased, then the person or entity to whom the facility is leased shall be the applicant. If the lessee does not assume all rights to the facility and the lessor reserves some participatory rights in the operation of the facility, then both entities shall make joint application for the license.

(e) The applicant for license shall disclose the name, address, and tax identification number of a person or entity who has the legal duties of filing employment tax returns and paying employment taxes with respect to staff required to meet the needs of facility residents, including but not limited to administrators, nurses, nurse aides, certified medication aides, dieticians, nutritionists, food service staff, qualified mental retardation professionals, and activities, social services, maintenance and housekeeping personnel.

(f) An application is not considered to be filed unless it is accompanied by the application fee. The application fee, however, shall not be required from a receiver or temporary manager appointed by, or at the request of, the Department.
