If a licensed nursing home administrator dies or is unable to continue due to an unexpected cause, the owner, governing body or other appropriate authority in charge of the nursing home involved may designate an acting administrator to whom the board may immediately issue an emergency permit if it finds the appointment will not endanger the safety of the occupants of the nursing home. An emergency permit is valid for a period determined by the board not to exceed six months and shall not be renewed. The prescribed fee for an emergency permit shall be paid to the board.
