Licenses issued hereunder shall expire one year after date of issuance, or upon such uniform dates annually as the licensing agency may prescribe by regulation. Licenses shall be issued only for the premises and persons named in the application and shall not be transferable or assignable. Licenses shall be posted in a conspicuous place on the licensed premises.
(b) In its discretion the licensing agency may issue a temporary license permitting operation of a nursing home, assisted living residence, therapeutic community residence, residential care home, or home for the terminally ill for such period or periods and subject to such conditions as the licensing agency deems proper, but in no case shall a nursing home, assisted living residence, therapeutic community residence, residential care home, or home for the terminally ill operate under a temporary license or renewal thereof for a period exceeding 36 months.
(c) An owner, licensee, or administrator shall disclose to the licensing agency any changes in the ownership interests in the company, ownership of any real property, management of the facility, or corporate structure that occur after the date the license is issued.
