651.1065 Soliciting or accepting new continuing care contracts by impaired or insolvent facilities or providers.—
(1) Regardless of whether delinquency proceedings as to a continuing care facility have been or are to be initiated, a proprietor, a general partner, a member, an officer, a director, a trustee, or a manager of a continuing care facility may not actively solicit, approve the solicitation or acceptance of, or accept new continuing care contracts in this state after the proprietor, general partner, member, officer, director, trustee, or manager knew, or reasonably should have known, that the continuing care facility was impaired or insolvent except with the written permission of the office.

The office must approve or disapprove the continued marketing of new contracts within 15 days after receiving a request from a provider.
