  1. Title 37 - CONSUMER PROTECTION CODE
  2. CHAPTER 11 Licensing and Regulation of Continuing Care Retirement Communities

The department, in accordance with the laws of the State governing injunctions and other processes, may maintain an action in the name of the State against a person for establishing, conducting, managing, or operating a facility without obtaining a license as provided in this chapter. In charging a defendant in a complaint in the action, it is sufficient to charge that the defendant, upon a certain day and in a certain county, established, conducted, managed, or operated the facility or program without a license without asserting further or more particular facts concerning the charge.

A person violating the provisions of this chapter or regulations promulgated under this chapter is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be fined not more than ten thousand dollars or imprisoned for not more than one year for each offense. Each day the facility or program operates without a license is considered a separate offense.
