    (a) A change of ownership application must include the effective date of the change of ownership.
    (b) The change of ownership effective date cannot be prior to the date the application is received by the Agency. Failure to submit an application for licensure prior to the effective date of a change of ownership to a different legal entity constitutes unlicensed activity.
    (c) The effective date of the change of ownership shall not be extended more than 60 days from the effective date reported on the application; written notification of a change in the effective date must be received by the Agency prior to the originally reported effective date. The Agency will deem the application withdrawn if the change of ownership does not occur within 60 days of the reported effective date.
    (2) All required application documents and information must be received with the application or within 21 days of the request by the Agency with the exception of the transferee’s proof of right to occupy if required, which must be received by the Agency within 10 days after the effective date.
    (3) When a change of ownership application is submitted during the review of a renewal licensure application, the pending renewal will be administratively withdrawn from review if the change of ownership application is approved with an effective date prior to the expiration of the license.
    (4) Expiration of a license prior to the approval of the change of ownership application, when no renewal application has been submitted, will result in the denial of a change of ownership application.
    (5) If the applicant has not been issued the license on the effective date of the change of ownership, documentation must be submitted that provides for continuation of operation of the licensee for those days between the date of the change of ownership and the date the applicant is licensed by the Agency.
