(b)(1) Notwithstanding any other provision in this subchapter, if a hospital system or person ceases to conduct, operate, or maintain a hospital that is subject to a fee under § 44-664.03, as evidenced by the transfer or surrender of the hospital license, the fee for the DFY in which the cessation occurs shall be adjusted by multiplying the fee computed under § 44-664.03 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the year during which the hospital system or person conducted, operated, or maintained the hospital, and the denominator of which is 365.

(2) Immediately upon ceasing to conduct, operate, or maintain a hospital, the hospital system or person shall pay the fee for the year as so adjusted, to the extent not previously paid.
