SUBSTANCE ABUSE: Provides for sober living homes. (8/1/26)

This bill establishes a new legal framework for sober living homes in Louisiana by requiring the Department of Health to create minimum health and safety standards. Before these rules can be finalized, the department must submit them to the Senate and House health and welfare committees for review and approval. The legislation directly affects operators of sober living facilities and the state agency responsible for regulating them, ensuring that future rules undergo legislative scrutiny.
