Housing - As introduced, authorizes local governments to regulate sober living homes for recovery from alcohol, drug, and substance abuse to the extent such regulation complies with the Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, including prescribing a distance requirement for such homes from primary schools, preschools, and daycares, regulating the location and operation of such homes, and requiring that prospective residents receive a clinical referral for placement in a sober living home. - Amends TCA Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 13 and Title 33.

HB 301 would allow Tennessee local governments (counties, cities, and towns) to regulate sober living homes - residences for adults recovering from substance abuse without formal treatment services. The bill requires these homes to be located at least 1,000 feet from schools, preschools, or daycares and mandates that prospective residents receive a clinical referral from a licensed healthcare provider confirming their need for such housing. Local governments must ensure all regulations comply with federal fair housing and disability laws. This bill would directly affect how sober living homes operate, where they can be located, and who can reside there.
