11839.17
. (a) In cases where a program is closing and the licensed
entity that has agreed to assume temporary operation of the closing
program is unable to do so, the department may assume temporary
operation of the closing program or designate another licensed entity
willing to do so. In cases where the licensed entity that has agreed
to assume temporary operation is the subject of a pending licensing
action or order issued pursuant to Section 11839.16, the department
may issue an order prohibiting the entity from assuming temporary
operation and may assume temporary operation of the closing program
or designate another licensed entity willing to do so. This section
shall not be construed to require the department or any other
licensed entity to assume any of the closing programs' financial
obligations.
(b) For purposes of this section, "temporary" means no more than
90 days.
