An Act providing transparency and accountability of nursing home ownership
In the case of the transfer of facility operations of a long-term care facility, a potential transferee shall submit a “notice of intent to acquire” to the department at least 90 days prior to the proposed transfer date. The notice of intent to acquire shall be on a form supplied by the department and shall be deemed complete upon submission of all information which the department requires on the notice of intent form and is reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this section.

No license shall be issued to an applicant and no potential transferee may submit an application for a license unless the department makes a determination that the applicant or potential transferee is responsible and suitable for licensure.
