Minnesota Recovery Residence Certification Act; certification system for recovery residences established, housing support eligibility and regulations modified, criminal penalties established, and money appropriated.

HF 3112 establishes a state certification system for recovery residences - substance-free living environments supporting individuals in addiction recovery. It directly affects recovery residences (which must now apply for certification), residents living in these residences, and housing support programs that will modify eligibility rules based on certification status. The bill creates a process where a designated certifying organization, under the commissioner of health, reviews applications, and sets standards for these residences to meet. It also modifies housing support regulations, establishes criminal penalties for violations of the new rules, and appropriates state funds to support the certification system.
