Enhances requirements for applicant seeking to locate substance use disorder treatment center within 500 feet of school.
This bill requires applicants seeking to locate a substance use disorder treatment center within 500 feet of a school to first obtain local community support. Specifically, applicants must notify the local town/city council and county planning board about their proposed location and request a resolution of support from the council before submitting their license application. The applicant must then submit this resolution along with their license application to the state. This applies only to new applications for treatment centers near schools serving children aged 5-18, not existing facilities. The law aims to ensure community input before such facilities open near schools.
