(a) In cases where a program is closing and the licensed entity that has agreed to assume temporary operation of the closing program is unable to do so, the department may assume temporary operation of the closing program or designate another licensed entity willing to do so. In cases where the licensed entity that has agreed to assume temporary operation is the subject of a pending licensing action or order issued pursuant to Section 11839.16, the department may issue an order prohibiting the entity from assuming temporary operation and may assume temporary operation of the closing program or designate another licensed entity willing to do so. This section shall not be construed to require the department or any other licensed entity to assume any of the closing programs’ financial obligations.
