of Civil Procedure 4.1(b)(3) may also be filed with the complaint or at any time prior
to the hearing on the merits.

is a reasonable likelihood that:

its residents prior to closure; or
(B) a situation; a physical condition; or a practice, method, or operation presents imminent
danger of death or serious physical or mental harm to residents; and
(2) the situation must be remedied immediately to ensure the health, safety, and welfare
of the residents of the facility.
(c) If the order for temporary receivership is granted, the complaint and order shall
be served on the owner, licensee, or administrator and shall be posted in a conspicuous
place in the facility no later than 24 hours after issuance. (Added 2009, No. 36, § 2.)
