§ 31-44-13. Temporary management of facilities.

A person holding a controlling interest in an end stage renal disease facility may, at any time, request the department to assume the management of the facility through the appointment of a temporary manager under this chapter. After receiving the request, the department may enter into an agreement providing for the appointment of a temporary manager to manage the facility under conditions considered appropriate by both parties if the department considers the appointment desirable. An agreement under this Code section must: Specify all terms and conditions of the temporary manager's appointment and authority; and Preserve all rights granted by law of the individuals served by the facility. The primary duty of the temporary manager is to ensure that adequate and safe services are provided to patients until temporary management ceases. The appointment terminates at the time specified by the agreement. (Code 1981, § 31-44-13 , enacted by Ga. L. 2000, p. 526, § 1.) Code Commission notes. - Ga. L. 2000, p. 126, § 1, Ga.
