Summary

The bill makes it mandatory for any sober‑housing program that does not provide clinical treatment to obtain a certificate of compliance from a credentialing entity approved by the state health department before it can open. The certificate must be renewed each year after an on‑site inspection, and anyone who falsely claims certification can be fined up to $1,000 per violation. The goal is to ensure consistent standards and oversight for recovery housing.
