(b)  The information required by subdivision (a) shall be provided to the department upon initial application for licensure, and upon payment of the annual renewal licensure fee.

Each application for departmental approval pursuant to this subdivision shall include the information specified in subdivision (a) with regard to the person for whom the application is made.
(e)  The department may deny approval of a license application or of an application for approval under subdivision (d) or revoke a license if a person named in the application, as required by this section, was suspended as a Medi-Cal provider or excluded as a medicaid or Medicare provider, was an officer, director, general partner, or owner of a 5 percent or greater beneficial or control interest in a licensee of, or in a management company under contract with a licensee of, a health facility, community care facility, residential care facility for the elderly, home health agency, clinic, or adult day health care center at a time when one or more violations of law were committed therein that resulted in suspension or revocation of its license, or at a time when a court-ordered receiver was appointed pursuant to Section 1327, or at a time when a final medicaid decertification action was taken under federal law.

(1)  The person in question took every reasonably available action to prevent the violation or violations that resulted in the disciplinary action.
(2)  The person in question took every reasonably available action to correct the violation or violations once he or she knew, or with the exercise of reasonable diligence should have known, of the violation or violations.

(g)  This section shall not apply to a bank, trust company, financial institution, title insurer, controlled escrow company, or underwritten title company to which a license is issued in a fiduciary capacity.
