(a) The court may appoint any responsible individual whose name is proposed by the Commissioner of Public Health and the Commissioner of Social Services to act as a receiver. For a nursing home facility, such individual shall be a nursing home facility administrator licensed in the state of Connecticut with substantial experience in operating Connecticut nursing homes. For a residential care home, such individual shall have experience as a residential care home administrator or, if there is no such individual, such individual shall have experience in the state similar to that of a residential care home administrator. The Commissioner of Social Services shall adopt regulations governing qualifications for proposed receivers consistent with this subsection. No state employee or owner, administrator or other person with a financial interest in the nursing home facility or residential care home may serve as a receiver for that nursing home facility or residential care home. No person appointed to act as a receiver shall be permitted to have a current financial interest in the nursing home facility or residential care home; nor shall such person appointed as a receiver be permitted to have a financial interest in the nursing home facility or residential care home for a period of five years from the date the receivership ceases.
(b) The court may remove such receiver in accordance with section 52-513. A nursing home facility or residential care home receiver appointed pursuant to this section shall be entitled to a reasonable receiver's fee as determined by the court. The receiver shall be liable only in the receiver's official capacity for injury to person and property by reason of the conditions of the nursing home facility or residential care home. The receiver shall not be personally liable, except for acts or omissions constituting gross, wilful or wanton negligence.
(c) The court, in its discretion, may require a bond of such receiver in accordance with section 52-506.
(d) The court may require the Commissioner of Public Health to provide for the payment of any receiver's fees authorized in subsection (a) of this section upon a showing by such receiver to the satisfaction of the court that (1) the assets of the nursing home facility or residential care home are not sufficient to make such payment, and (2) no other source of payment is available, including the submission of claims in a bankruptcy proceeding. The state shall have a claim for any court-ordered fees and expenses of the receiver that shall have priority over all other claims of secured and unsecured creditors and other persons whether or not such nursing home facility or residential care home is in bankruptcy, to the extent allowed under state or federal law.
