(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.
