| initial certificate of need, an alternative health
care | 5 |
| delivery model that is a community based residential | 6 |
| rehabilitation center
seeks to
increase the bed capacity of | 7 |
| that center, it must obtain a certificate of need
from the | 8 |

| the Department's rules
adopted under this Act. A licensed | 16 |
| alternative health care model that continues
to be in | 17 |
| substantial compliance after the conclusion of the | 18 |
| demonstration
program shall be eligible for annual renewals | 19 |
| unless and until a different
licensure program for that type of | 20 |
| health care model is established by
legislation. The Department | 21 |
| may issue a provisional license to any
alternative health care | 22 |
| model that does not substantially comply with the
provisions of | 23 |
| this Act and the rules adopted under this Act if (i)
the | 24 |
| Department finds that the alternative health care model has | 25 |
| undertaken
changes and corrections which upon completion will | 26 |
| render the alternative
health care model in substantial |

| safety of the patients of the alternative
health care model | 3 |
| will be protected during the period for which the provisional
| 4 |
| license is issued. The Department shall advise the licensee of
| 5 |
| the conditions under which the provisional license is issued, | 6 |
| including
the manner in which the alternative health care model | 7 |
| fails to comply with
the provisions of this Act and rules, and | 8 |
