(2) The board, if either of the following applies:
(a) The board owns and operates the recovery housing on the effective date of this section.
(b) The board determines that there is an emergency need for the board to assume the ownership and operation of the recovery housing such as when an existing owner and operator of the recovery housing goes out of business, and the board considers the assumption of ownership and operation of the recovery housing to be its last resort.
