Calhoun County, authorizes the county commission and governing bodies of municipalities to regulate halfway houses

HB 211 allows Calhoun County commissions and local municipalities to create rules for regulating halfway houses and similar facilities. It establishes a framework for enforcement of these regulations and specifies that the law will expire on June 1, 2028. The bill directly affects local governments in Calhoun County, giving them authority to set standards for these residential facilities. This is a policy change that modifies local regulatory power without altering existing state laws governing halfway houses. The bill is currently pending in the House of Origin committee.
