Relates to the construction of facilities for chemical dependence services that promote the privacy of individuals

Summary

The bill adds a requirement that any new facility built for chemical dependence services that receives funding from the Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Addiction Services, or seeks other non‑mental‑health improvement funding, must be approved by the commissioner. The facility must be designed to protect privacy while bathing, sleeping, using restrooms, and receiving individual counseling, while also maximizing space use. Existing buildings are not subject to the new privacy standards for approval of new construction.
