projections for that period, the department may take any of the
following actions:
(1) Cancel the permit to accept deposits and require that all
funds in escrow be returned to depositors immediately.

Sections 1782, 1783.3, 1786, and 1786.2.
(3) Increase the reserve requirements under this chapter.
(b) Prior to taking any actions specified in subdivision (a), the
department shall give the applicant an opportunity to submit a
feasibility study from a consultant in the area of continuing care,

opinion the proposed continuing care retirement community is still
viable, and if so, to submit a plan of correction. The department
shall determine if the plan is acceptable.

consideration the overall performance of the proposed continuing care
retirement community to date.

residents.

depositors and, if applicable, all residents, of any actions required
by the department under this section.
