AS 18.07.071. Temporary and Emergency Certificates.

(a) The department shall grant a sponsor an emergency certificate for the construction of a health care facility for which a certificate is required under AS 18.07.031 if the sponsor shows, by affidavit or formal hearing, that the act of construction consists of effecting emergency repairs.

(b) The department may grant a sponsor a temporary certificate for the temporary operation of a category of health service if the sponsor shows by affidavit or formal hearing

(1) the necessity for early, immediate, or temporary relief; and

(2) adverse effect to the public interest by reason of delay occasioned by compliance with the requirements of AS 18.07.041 , 18.07.043, and application procedures prescribed by regulations under this chapter.
