Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-1-1908: Fire safety standards - Vendor payments

A. No facility shall be licensed to operate or continue to

operate unless, in addition to compliance with other current

licensure requirements, the building is of one-hour fire resistant

construction and approved by the Department and the State Fire

Marshal. If the building is not of one-hour fire resistant

construction in addition to the other current licensure

requirements, the facility must be approved by the State Department

of Health and the State Fire Marshal. In addition, the facility

must have an approved automatic sprinkler system, as rated and

approved by the National Fire Protection Association Standards.

B. Each facility that proposes an increase in beds, whether

through new construction or modification, shall submit construction

plans to the Department for review prior to the start of

construction. The Department may assess a fee for such review in an

amount not more than two one-hundredths percent (0.02%) or One

Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), whichever is the least amount, per

project of the total construction cost of the facility or

modification. The maximum fee for plan review for a ten-bed or ten

percent (10%) expansion project authorized under subsection C of

Section 1-852 of this title shall be One Thousand Dollars

($1,000.00). The State Board of Health shall promulgate rules for

submission and resubmission of construction plans to ensure the

timely review of such plans by the Department.

C. The Department of Human Services and the Oklahoma Health

Care Authority shall not make a vendor payment to any individual or

facility on behalf of any person for medical care rendered in the

form of nursing service outside such person's home, unless such

individual or facility holds a current nursing facility, continuum

of care facility, assisted living, or adult day care license issued

by the Commissioner or other state agency authorized to issue such

license.
