     15-67-203. (Temporary) Statute of limitations. (1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, a deficiency may not be assessed or collected with respect to the quarter for which a report is filed unless the notice of additional utilization fee proposed to be assessed is mailed within 5 years from the date the report was filed. For the purposes of this section, a report filed before the last day prescribed for filing is considered filed on the last day. If, before the expiration of the period prescribed for assessment of the utilization fee, the intermediate care facility consents in writing to an assessment after the 5-year period, the utilization fee may be assessed at any time prior to the expiration of the period agreed upon.
     (2) A refund or credit may not be paid or allowed with respect to the calendar quarter for which a report is filed after 5 years from the last day prescribed for filing the report or after 1 year from the date of the overpayment, whichever period expires later, unless before the expiration of the period the intermediate care facility files a claim or the department has determined the existence of the overpayment and has approved the refund or credit. If the intermediate care facility has agreed in writing under the provisions of subsection (1) to extend the time within which the department may propose an additional assessment, the period within which a claim for refund or credit is filed or a credit or refund is allowed in the event a claim is filed is automatically extended. (Void on occurrence of contingency--sec. 17, Ch. 531, L. 2003--see chapter compiler's comment.)
