The transferor shall remain liable for all penalties assessed against the facility which are imposed for violations occurring prior to transfer of ownership. If the Department finds that an entity failed to follow an accepted transition plan and ensure residents are provided adequate care during the change of ownership process, and finds actual harm to a resident, the Department shall establish a high-risk designation pursuant to paragraph (9) of Section 3-305. The Department shall issue a violation to the entity that failed to carry out their responsibility under the transition plan that caused the violation. As described in this Section, the change of ownership process shall begin upon submission of the transition plan to 30 days after the transfer of the facility.
