An Act relative to discharges from sober homes

Summary

The bill would force certified alcohol‑ and drug‑free housing providers to create a written discharge and transfer policy that must be approved by the state accreditation program and the Department of Public Health. It limits immediate discharge or transfer to three narrow situations—resident welfare, unmet needs, or health‑and‑safety risks to others—and lets operators or police enforce a lawful discharge. The aim is to protect residents while giving homes clear rules for removing a resident when truly necessary.
