Regards Behavioral Health licensed residential facilities

This bill amends state laws to clarify the definitions and operational requirements for residential facilities licensed by the Department of Behavioral Health. It establishes specific categories for these homes based on the number of residents and the type of care provided, while explicitly excluding hospitals, nursing homes, and other specialized facilities from this regulation. The legislation also details the permitted roles of staff, such as assisting with medication administration and daily living tasks, and outlines the application and inspection processes for obtaining a license. Ultimately, the bill aims to standardize how these facilities are defined and overseen to ensure consistent care standards for adults and children with mental health needs.
