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

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to approve a nonprofit organization to develop and run a voluntary certification program for recovery residences. It directly affects recovery residences (sober living homes without clinical treatment) and their administrators by establishing standards for certification, including annual recertification and background checks for administrators. The program, aligned with National Alliance for Recovery Residences (NARR) standards, would allow certified residences to display a "certificate of compliance" and ensure administrators meet professional certification requirements. The DCA must select the nonprofit within 120 days of the bill's enactment and fund it annually from state appropriations.
