Maine Revised Statutes

1. Initial deposits.  After the disclosure statement, the escrow agreement, the receipt and the continuing care agreement have been reviewed on a preliminary basis by the department's Certificate of Need staff, the department shall forward the documents with recommendations, if any, to the superintendent. All provisions of section 6203, including approval of the receipt and the escrow agreement by the superintendent, remain applicable. Thereafter the limit on deposits that may be collected may not exceed an amount equal to 10% of the entrance fee. Following issuance by the department of a Certificate of Need, any unsuccessful applicant for the first demonstration project shall refund amounts collected from subscribers with interest earned thereon pursuant to this chapter. The refunds must be made no later than 10 days after notification by the department to the unsuccessful applicant unless the unsuccessful applicant appeals the decision of the department as provided by former Title 22, chapter 103. If the applicant appeals and the appeal is denied, then refunds must be made no later than 10 days after notification of the denial.

2. Exception.  Except as specifically addressed in this section, all other requirements of this chapter shall apply.
