Title 20 . Miscellaneous Boards and Commissions
Chapter 17 . Mental Health Trust Authority
Section 40. Status changes

20 AAC 17.040. Status changes

(a) In the event of a change in management of an institution, a substantial change in the mission or educational program of an institution, or a change of address of the school or any of its facilities, the institution and its agents shall notify the commission in writing of the change at least one calendar quarter before the effective date of the change. The commission may determine whether it will require a new application for authorization to operate and for agent permits.

(b) A substantial change in curriculum or delivery methods from that specified in the institution's most recent authorization application must be approved by the commission before implementation. A description of the change must be received by the commission at least 90 days before the commission meeting at which the change will be considered.

(c) Within 30 days after the effective date of a change of ownership of an institution, the institution shall submit a new application for authorization to operate. The completed application must include all fees, under 20 AAC 17.055, evidence of bonding or other security, the documentation required for a request for renewal of authorization, a description of any changes made at the institution as a result of the change in ownership, the effective date of the change in ownership, and a statement of the assets and obligations that will be transferred. An institution that is not authorized to operate at the time of sale must submit an initial application for authorization. Upon approval by the commission, the commission will issue to the institution an authorization to operate. The initial period of the authorization will be provisional for at least one year, as determined by the commission.

(d) In the event of a change of ownership for an institution that is authorized to participate in federal student aid programs under 20 U.S.C. 1001 - 1155 (Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965), the institution shall submit evidence of continued authorization by the secretary of the United States Department of Education, including copies of application materials submitted to the United States Department of Education for continued authorization after the change of ownership. An institution that complies with this subsection is exempt from (c) of this section.

(e) For the purposes of this section, "ownership" means a controlling interest held by a person, including a partnership or corporation, in an educational institution.
