125.15A LICENSURE -- EMERGENCIES.
1. The department may place an employee or agent to serve as a
monitor in a licensed substance abuse treatment program or may
petition the court for appointment of a receiver for a program when
any of the following conditions exist:
a. The program is operating without a license.
b. The board has suspended, revoked, or refused to renew the
existing license of the program.
c. The program is closing or has informed the department that
it intends to close and adequate arrangements for the location of
clients have not been made at least thirty days before the closing.
d. The department determines that an emergency exists,
whether or not it has initiated revocation or nonrenewal procedures,
and because of the unwillingness or inability of the licensee to
remedy the emergency, the department determines that a monitor or
receiver is necessary. As used in this paragraph, "emergency"
means a threat to the health, safety, or welfare of a client that the
program is unwilling or unable to correct.
2. The monitor shall observe operation of the program, assist the
program with advice regarding compliance with state regulations, and
report periodically to the department on the operation of the
program. Section History: Recent Form
