(1)A provisional certificate of authority has been issued or all of the requirements for a provisional certificate of authority have been satisfied. In the case of an application for a new certificate of authority due to an organizational change, if the continuing care retirement community is financially sound and operating in compliance with this chapter, it shall be sufficient for the purposes of this paragraph that the department has approved the application in writing.

(A)At a minimum, continuing care contracts have been executed for 80 percent of the total residential living units in the continuing care retirement community, with payment in full of the entrance fee.
(B)At a minimum, continuing care contracts have been executed for 70 percent of the total residential living units in the continuing care retirement community, with payment in full of the entrance fee, and the provider has submitted an updated financial and marketing plan, satisfactory to the department, demonstrating that the proposed continuing care retirement community will be financially viable.
