If a health care facility has not secured a license pursuant to this chapter, the State Department of Health shall notify the owner or operator of such facility. If the owner or operator refuses or fails to comply with the provisions of § 34-12-5 within fourteen calendar days after notification, the department shall, subject to the requirements of chapter 1-26 , issue a closure order to the owner or operator of the facility until such time as the owner or operator complies with the licensure requirements. If the facility continues to operate after a closure order is issued, the department may refer the matter to the state's attorney for appropriate action or the attorney general's office for injunctive relief.
