Requires DCA to approve credentialing entity to develop and administer voluntary recovery residence certification program.

This bill establishes a voluntary certification program for sober living homes (recovery residences) in New Jersey. It requires the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to approve a nonprofit credentialing entity to develop standards and administer certification for both recovery residences and their administrators. The program includes on-site inspections, annual recertification requirements, criminal background checks for staff, and a public website listing certified facilities. This affects sober living homes and their managers by creating optional certification standards, without mandating participation.
