Summary

The bill directs the Maryland Department of Health to conduct at least two surprise on‑site inspections of every certified recovery residence each year. If an inspection finds the residence out of compliance, the department must give the facility a one‑month notice to correct the issue, and may order the credentialing entity to revoke its certification if the problem remains. The measure aims to strengthen oversight of sober‑living facilities and ensure they meet health and safety standards.
