Change in ownership greater than 50% requires a new license to be applied within how many days?

• A. 60 days
• B. 30 days
• C. 15 days
• D. 45 days

Answer: (B)

When ownership transfers a controlling interest (more than 50%), a new license must be issued in the name of the new owner. The board requires the new owner to apply within 30 days of the change. This window helps the board verify qualifications and keep the license current during the transition, ensuring the facility continues to operate under proper authorization. If the application isn’t submitted within 30 days, the operation could be considered unlicensed or subject to penalties until the license is issued. The other timeframes are not the standard requirement.
