A. No facility shall be licensed to operate or continue to operate unless, in addition to compliance with other current licensure requirements, the building is of one-hour fire resistant construction and approved by the Department and the State Fire Marshal. If the building is not of one-hour fire resistant construction in addition to the other current licensure requirements, the facility must be approved by the State Department of Health and the State Fire Marshal. In addition, the facility must have an approved automatic sprinkler system, as rated and approved by the National Fire Protection Association Standards.
B. Each facility that proposes an increase in beds, whether through new construction or modification, shall submit construction plans to the Department for review prior to the start of construction. The Department may assess a fee for such review in an amount not more than two one-hundredths percent (0.02%) or One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), whichever is the least amount, per project of the total construction cost of the facility or modification. The maximum fee for plan review for a ten-bed or ten percent (10%) expansion project authorized under subsection C of Section 1-852 of this title shall be One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00). The State Board of Health shall promulgate rules for submission and resubmission of construction plans to ensure the timely review of such plans by the Department.
C. The Department of Human Services and the Oklahoma Health Care Authority shall not make a vendor payment to any individual or facility on behalf of any person for medical care rendered in the form of nursing service outside such person's home, unless such individual or facility holds a current nursing facility, continuum of care facility, assisted living, or adult day care license issued by the Commissioner or other state agency authorized to issue such license.
