Ark. Code Ann. § 20-10-907

Emergency appointment

Acts 1988 (4th Ex

(1) If the complaint filed under § 20-10-905 is filed by the Department of Human Services and alleges that grounds set out in § 20-10-904(1) or § 20-10-904(2) exist within a facility and is accompanied by a verified affidavit setting forth facts which would constitute such a ground, a temporary receiver shall be appointed with or without notice to the owner, licensee, or administrator.

(2) The temporary appointment of a receiver without notice to the owner, licensee, or administrator may be made only if the court is satisfied that the department has made a diligent attempt to provide reasonable notice under the circumstances. The delivery of a copy of the complaint to the facility upon filing shall constitute reasonable notice for issuance of a temporary receivership order by the court.

(3) Upon appointment of a temporary receiver, the department shall proceed immediately to obtain service as provided in § 20-10-905(d).

(4) If the department does not proceed with the complaint, the court shall dissolve the temporary receivership after ten (10) days.
