Appointment of monitor or receiver.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 10. Children

A. The Department of Human Services may place an employee or

agent to serve as a monitor at a provider agency or licensee subject

to the provisions of the Group Homes for Persons with Developmental

or Physical Disabilities Act or may petition the district court for

appointment of a receiver for a provider or licensee, or both, when

any of the following conditions exist:

1. The group home is operating without a license;

2. The Department has suspended, revoked or refused to renew

the existing license of the provider or licensee;

3. The provider or licensee has closed or has informed the

Department that it intends to close and adequate arrangements for

relocation of residents have not been made at least thirty (30) days

prior to closure; or

4. The Department determines that an emergency exists, whether

or not it has initiated revocation or nonrenewal procedures, if

because of the unwillingness or inability of the provider or

licensee to remedy the emergency the Department believes a monitor

or receiver is necessary.

B. In any situation described in subsection A of this section,

the Department may place a qualified person to act as monitor at the

provider agency or licensee. The monitor shall observe the

operation of the provider agency or licensee, assist the provider or

licensee by advising it on how to comply with the state rules

promulgated by the Commission for Human Services and shall report

periodically to the Department on the operation of the provider

agency or licensee.
