To allow municipalities to regulate sober living housing in the cities

HB 4495 allows West Virginia cities to regulate sober living facilities within their boundaries. It requires these facilities to obtain municipal approval before opening, after meeting state certification standards under §16-59-2. Municipalities may choose whether to require the state certification, set renewal processes, or conduct inspections of these facilities. The bill directly affects sober living housing providers seeking to operate in incorporated cities. It grants local governments authority to establish specific rules for these facilities' operation and oversight.
