Section 55.106. Coordination of termination of utility service with regulatory agencies and termination date

The health care facility is responsible for cooperating with the involved regulatory agencies to ensure that there is a safe and orderly transfer of the residents or patients to alternative facilities prior to the scheduled date for termination of service. If residents or patients remain in the health care facility at the end of the 10-day termination period, the utility shall, at the request of the Commission’s Bureau, continue to provide service for an additional 30 days or until the Bureau notifies the utility that all residents or patients are removed, whichever occurs first. Unless the Commission’s Bureau makes a request, the utility may proceed with termination of service at the end of the 10-day period.
