(4) A disclosure statement may utilize a table of contents other than as set forth in subsection (3) if, when submitted for filing, the disclosure statement is accompanied by an index which cross-references the requirements of subsection (3) above with the table of contents in the disclosure statement.(5) The disclosure statement may include the required information in any order, at the discretion of the provider, provided that the Table of Contents or separate index clearly sets forth the location of the required information.(6) The disclosure statement shall be assembled into one document, except if a provider shall determine that financial and actuarial data can be more conveniently or logically combined into one separate document, then two documents may be submitted as the disclosure statement.(b) A disclosure statement submitted to the department for filing may be accompanied by an actuarial certificate, signed by a member in good standing of the American Academy of Actuaries, stating that financial and actuarial projections have been made upon an actuarially sound basis in accordance with accepted actuarial principles. In that event, the initial requirements for filing in regard to actuarial soundness shall be deemed to have been met.(c)(1) Actions initiated by the Attorney General against a provider in regard to non-compliance with the Act or these regulations shall, if not concluded, be affirmatively disclosed in disclosure statements filed subsequent to the initiation of such action by inclusion of a statement, under the heading JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS, to the effect that such an action or actions have been instituted and are continuing.

Both the heading and this statement shall be omitted from the disclosure statement if the only disclosure required had been in regard to actions brought by the Attorney General, and the disclosure of such action had been waived pursuant to subsection (c) (2), above.(d) If the manner in which periodic charges or other recurring fees may be adjusted is not set forth with specificity in the contract, by formula or otherwise, but rather indicates a general basis therefor, such as, "increases in taxes, and maintenance costs of the facility," then the disclosure statement shall include a statement to the effect that periodic charges (or other recurring fees) may be made at the discretion of the provider. Such a statement shall be included under the heading "Entrance Fees/Periodic Charges."(e) A disclosure statement for a continuing care retirement community at which any incident of ownership is or may be transferred in whole or in part shall meet the foregoing requirements, and in addition, the proposed documents which would transfer any incident of ownership shall be included under item "(21)."Conn.
