Ch. 21

(IV)  THE LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED HOSPITAL
OR RELATED INSTITUTION;

(V)  THE NAME OF THE INDIVIDUAL WHO IS TO
BE THE ADMINISTRATIVE HEAD OF THE PROPOSED HOSPITAL OR
RELATED INSTITUTION; AND

(VI)  ANY OTHER INFORMATION THAT THE
SECRETARY REQUIRES.

(C) REFUNDS PROHIBITED.

AN APPLICATION FEE MAY NOT BE REFUNDED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a), (b)(2) and (3), and
(c) of this section are new language derived
without substantive change from the first and
second sentences of former Article 43, § 559(a)
and the first sentence and the first clause of
the third sentence of (b).

Subsection (b)(1) of this section is standard
language added to state expressly that
applications may be made only on the form
required by the Secretary.

In subsection (b)(3)(v) of this section, the term
"administrative head" is substituted for the
reference to the "person in charge", to conform
to references elsewhere in this article.

As to licensed nursing home administrators, see
Title 8 of the Health Occupations Article.

The second clause of the third sentence of former
Article 43, § 559(b), which provided for
disposition of the fees in a special fund, is
deleted as an apparently obsolete reference. In
practice, these fees are deposited in the General
Fund of this State.
