relative to the impaired driver care management program and recovery residences.

SB 143 establishes certification standards for recovery residences serving individuals with substance use disorders. It requires these facilities to meet nationally recognized safety, health, and operational standards - including building inspections, insurance, resident agreements, grievance procedures, and anti-discrimination policies - before accepting residents. The law designates a certifying body (like NARR) to oversee a voluntary certification program, effective July 15, 2025. This directly affects recovery residences seeking to operate under state standards.
