Require Recovery Residences to Obtain Behavioral Health Administration License

Summary

The bill defines a "recovery residence" and makes a state license from the Behavioral Health Administration (BHA) mandatory for any facility that houses people with behavioral health disorders. It bars health‑care providers, managed‑care entities and government agencies from referring clients to unlicensed residences and sets up a licensing, inspection, and enforcement system. The change aims to improve safety, oversight and consistency across recovery housing.
