§ 20-10-902 — Purpose

It is the purpose of this subchapter to develop a mechanism whereby the concept of receivership can be utilized for the protection of residents in long-term care facilities. It is the intent of the General Assembly that receivership shall be a remedy of last resort when all other methods of remedy have failed or when the implementation of other remedies would be futile. It is not the intent of this subchapter to circumvent the Health Services Permit Program of the Health Services Permit Commission. No court or administrative agency shall interpret the contents of this subchapter to allow the transfer of beds or the license of a facility under receivership without approval of the commission as required by § 20-8-101 et seq.
