(a) Program Reporting Requirements.
(i) The program shall notify the Division in
				writing thirty (30) days prior to any proposed change in location, name,
				ownership, control of the facility, if the director of a program leaves or is
				put on administrative leave, or closure of a program. If there are
				circumstances that prevent this notice, notify the Division within one (1)
				business day of such changes with an explanation of the reason for the
				change.
(ii) If there is a change
				or transfer in ownership, the new owner(s) or controlling parties shall file an
				application for certification thirty (30) days prior to taking control. The
				application will be reviewed for completeness. If the application is complete,
				and a site visit finds that the minimum requirements are met, a six (6) month
				provisional certificate will be issued. If the application is not complete, it
				will be returned to the applicant to address such deficiencies noted. A
				provisional certificate will only be issued once the application is complete
				and approved and a site visit is conducted verifying minimum
				standards.
(iii) Any notice of
				hearing order or decision, which the Division issues to a facility prior to a
				transfer of ownership, shall be effective against the former owner or
				controlling party to such transfer, and, where appropriate, the new owner
				following such transfer unless said notice, order, or decision is modified or
				dismissed by the Division.
(iv) No
				program certification shall be transferable from one owner to another or from
				one facility to another. The program shall immediately notify the Division if
				the program is closing, including a plan to transfer clients to other services
				as indicated.
(v) The program shall
				immediately notify the Division electronically, by email or fax, of a client or
				staff death where death occurs on-site. The program shall notify the decedent's
				family or next of kin as soon as possible. The program shall have written
				policies describing how critical incidents are handled and reviewed, including
				notification to the Division. The Division shall establish policies and
				procedures to ensure that in the case of a client or staff death that occurs
				on-site, the case is properly evaluated, documented, acknowledged, and handled
				in an appropriate manner.
(vi) The
				program shall notify the Division within one (1) business day of a critical
				fire, accident, or other incident resulting in the interruption of services at
				the location. The program shall have written policies describing how critical
				incidents are handled and reviewed, including notification to the Division. The
				Division shall establish policies and procedures to ensure that in the case of
				a critical incident that occurs on-site the case is properly evaluated,
				documented, acknowledged, and handled in an appropriate manner.
(vii) Legal proceedings. Every program shall
				report, in writing, to the Division any civil award against a program or any
				person while employed by the program which relates to the delivery of the
				service or which may impact the continued operation of the facility. In
				addition, every program shall report any felony conviction against the program
				or any person while employed by the program. The report shall be given to the
				Division within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the conviction.
