1779.6
. (a) Within seven calendar days of receipt of an initial
application for a permit to accept deposits and a certificate of
authority, the department shall acknowledge receipt of the
application in writing.
(b) Within 30 calendar days following its receipt of an
application, the department shall determine if the application is
complete and inform the applicant of its determination. If the
department determines that the application is incomplete, its notice
to the applicant shall identify the additional forms, documents,
information, and other materials required to complete the
application. The department shall allow the applicant adequate time
to submit the requested information and materials. This review may
not determine the adequacy of the materials included in the
application.
(c) Within 120 calendar days after the department determines that
an application is complete, the department shall review the
application for adequacy. An application shall be adequate if it
complies with all the requirements imposed by this chapter, and both
the financial study and marketing study reasonably project the
feasibility of the proposed continuing care retirement community, as
well as demonstrate the financial soundness of the applicant. The
department shall either approve the application as adequate under
this chapter or notify the applicant that its application is
inadequate. If the application is inadequate, the department shall
identify the deficiencies in the application, provide the appropriate
code references, and give the applicant an opportunity to respond.
(d) Within 60 calendar days after receiving any additional
information or clarification required from the applicant, the
department shall respond to the applicant's submission in writing and
state whether each specific deficiency has been addressed
sufficiently to make the application adequate. If the department
determines that the application is adequate and in compliance with
this chapter, the department shall issue the permit to accept
deposits. If the department determines that the response is
inadequate, it may request additional information or clarification
from the applicant pursuant to subdivision (c) or deny the
application pursuant to Section 1779.10.
(e) If the applicant does not provide the department with the
additional information within 90 days after the department's notice
described in subdivision (c), the application may be denied for being
inadequate. Any new application shall require an application fee.
