(a) The department shall grant a sponsor an emergency certificate for the construction of a health care facility for which a certificate is required under AS 18.07.031 if the sponsor shows, by affidavit or formal hearing, that the act of construction consists of effecting emergency repairs.
(b) The department may grant a sponsor a temporary certificate for the temporary operation of a category of health service if the sponsor shows by affidavit or formal hearing
(1) the necessity for early, immediate, or temporary relief; and
(2) adverse effect to the public interest by reason of delay occasioned by compliance with the requirements of AS 18.07.041, 18.07.043, and application procedures prescribed by regulations under this chapter.
(c) A temporary certificate granted under (b) of this section does not confer vested rights on behalf of the applicant.
