    Subd. 2.  [OVERPAYMENTS TO PRIOR OWNERS.] The current owner 
of a nursing home, boarding care home, or intermediate care 
facility for persons with mental retardation or a related 
condition is liable for the overpayment amount owed by a former 
owner for any facility sold, transferred, or reorganized after 
the effective date of this section.  Within 12 months of a 
written request by the current owner, the commissioner shall 
conduct a field audit of the facility for the auditable rate 
years during which the former owner owned the facility and issue

former owner.
