(II) FIND THAT THE FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY, IF ANY, INCLUDES A
SIGNIFICANT RISK OF FINANCIAL FAILURE IN ACCORDANCE WITH § 10-469 OF THIS
SUBTITLE.
(3) IN MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO THE DEPARTMENT, THE
COMMITTEE SHALL STATE THE REASON FOR THE RECOMMENDATION.
(C) EXTENSION.
(1) THE COMMITTEE MAY REQUEST FROM THE SECRETARY ONE 30-DAY
EXTENSION OF THE DEADLINE UNDER SUBSECTION (B)(2) OF THIS SECTION.
(2) THE SECRETARY MAY GRANT OR DENY THE EXTENSION.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 70B, § 17A(c).
In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the requirement that the Department
provide to the Committee "any materials the Department considers
necessary" is substituted for the former reference to "accompanying
materials" to conform to current practice. This addition is called to the
attention of the General Assembly.
In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the reference to the "referral" is
substituted for the former references to the "application and the materials"
and the "finding" for brevity.
In the introductory language of subsection (b)(2) of this section, the former
reference to whether "or not" is deleted as implicit.
In subsection (b)(2)(ii) of this section, the phrase "if any" is added to clarify
that only if the provider is found in financial difficulty could the financial
difficulty be identified as including a significant risk of financial failure.
Also in subsection (b)(2)(ii) of this section, the reference to "find[ing]" is
substituted for the former reference to "identifying" for consistency with
subsection (b)(1)(i) of this section.
In subsection (b)(3) of this section, the reference to "making a
recommendation to the Department" is added to clarify the circumstances
under which the Committee is required to state its reasons for a
recommendation.
Also in subsection (b)(3) of this section, the former reference to "reasons" is
deleted in light of the reference to "reason" and Art. 1, § 8, which provides
that the singular generally includes the plural.
In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the reference to an extension of the
"deadline" is added for clarity.
Defined terms: "Committee" § 10-463
"Department" § 10-101
