PUBLISHER'S NOTE: The secretary of state has
				  determined that the publication of the entire text of the material which is
				  incorporated by reference as a portion of this rule would be unduly cumbersome
				  or expensive. This material as incorporated by reference in this rule shall be
				  maintained by the agency at its headquarters and shall be made available to the
				  public for inspection and copying at no more than the actual cost of
				  reproduction. This note applies only to the reference material. The entire text
				  of the rule is printed here.
(1) Persons intending to operate a hospital
				shall submit information to the Department of Health and Senior Services, as
				set out in the application form (MO 580-0007(8-18)) which is included herein.
				Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the application, the applicant will be
				notified of any omitted information or documents. After sixty (60) days any
				incomplete application is null. The department may deny a license application
				in any case which it finds that there has been a substantial failure to comply
				with the requirements for hospitals in Chapter 197, RSMo, and the regulations
				promulgated thereunder. Each application for license to operate a hospital
				shall be accompanied by the appropriate licensing fee, except applications from
				governmental units, required by section
				197.050,
				RSMo.
(2) Each license shall be
				issued only for the premises identified on the application for hospital license
				and entity named in the application. All locations included in the hospital
				application for hospital license shall meet the definition of "premises" as
				stated in 19 CSR 30-20.011. No license
				shall be issued unless the applicant is in substantial compliance with Chapter
				197, RSMo and the regulations promulgated thereunder. A license, unless sooner
				revoked, shall be issued for a period of up to a year. If during the period in
				which a license is in effect, a licensed operator which is a partnership,
				limited partnership, or corporation undergoes any of the following changes,
				whether by one (1) or by more than one (1) action, the operator shall within
				fifteen (15) working days of such change apply for a new license:
(A) With respect to a partnership, a change
				in the majority interest of general partners;
(B) With respect to a limited partnership, a
				change in the general partner or in the majority interest of limited
				partners;
(C) With respect to a
				corporation, a change in the persons who own, hold, or have the power to vote
				the majority of any class of securities issued by the corporation. If the
				corporation does not have stock, a change of owner occurs when the emerging
				entity has a new federal tax number; or
(D) The board of directors with management
				control is an entity other than the licensed operator.
