Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Provisional year and strict penalties for facilities
Initial licenses for new facilities are provisional for one year. During that year, the department may revoke the license for good cause, meaning failure to follow the law or rules. If your provisional license is revoked, you cannot apply for a new initial license for five years.
New rules for treatment facility licenses
The department issues a single license to run an alcohol or drug treatment facility. You must file a complete written application, get fire clearance, and pay the fee. If you cannot show you can follow the law and rules, the department denies the license. If you miss items or deadlines, the review stops and you must submit a new application.
Local notice and rulemaking for facility licenses
When the department issues a license, it sends written notice to the city or county with the licensee’s name, mailing address, and facility location. The law requires the department to adopt regulations by July 1, 2022. Until regulations are adopted, the department may issue provider bulletins or written guidelines.
