A change of ownership occurs when there is a change in the person legally responsible for the operation of the facility, whether by lease or by ownership.

The new owner shall submit an application for an initial license to the department prior to the date of the change of ownership or not later than 10 calendar days following the date of a change of ownership. The application shall be in accordance with § 510.22 of Title 40 (relating to the Application and Issuance of Initial License). In addition to the documents required in § 510.22 of Title 40, the applicant shall include the effective date of the change of ownership.(c) Surveys. The on-site construction and health surveys required by § 510.22 of Title 40 may be waived by the department.(d) Issuance of license. When the new owner has complied with the provisions of § 510.22 of Title 40, the department shall issue a license which shall be effective the date of the change of ownership.(e) Expiration of license.
