Entry, access to records, and inspection

1. The applicant or licensee shall affirm the right of the department, or designee, to enter any of the buildings or facilities and access to its records to determine compliance with the rules of the department, to facilitate verification of the information submitted with an application for licensure, and to investigate complaints. 2. The licensee shall authorize the department, or designee, entry to its facilities and access to its records in the event the licensee declares bankruptcy, transfers ownership, ceases operations, evicts residents of its facilities, or the contract with the department is terminated by either of the parties. The department's entry is for the purpose of facilitating the orderly transfer of eligible individuals to an alternative service or the maintenance of appropriate service until an orderly transfer can be made.
