Department of Human Services rule relating to Recovery Residence Certification and Accreditation Program

Senate Bill 331 authorizes West Virginia's Department of Human Services (DHS) to implement certification standards for recovery residences - facilities providing substance use disorder support, such as sober living homes. The bill specifically approves a revised legislative rule (69 CSR 15) that DHS developed after addressing committee feedback, establishing requirements these facilities must meet to operate. This rule directly affects recovery residences by setting mandatory certification criteria for safety, staffing, and services, ensuring they meet state standards. The bill itself does not create new laws but formally authorizes DHS to enforce these existing certification requirements.
