Local Government, General - As enacted, authorizes Putnam County and incorporated cities within the county to regulate sober living homes for recovery from alcohol, drug, and substance abuse to the extent such regulation complies with the Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. - Amends TCA Title 7, Chapter 51, Part 26.

Summary

The bill lets Putnam County and any incorporated city within it that meets specific population limits set rules for sober living homes that aid recovery from alcohol or drug addiction. Any local regulations must still comply with the federal Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. It also updates the state code’s definition of “local government” to apply only to those jurisdictions.
