Require Recovery Residences to Obtain Behavioral Health Administration License

Current law requires a recovery residence operated in Colorado to be certified by a third-party certifying body, unless the recovery residence has been operating in Colorado for 30 or more years as of May 23, 2019.     Beginning July 1, 2027, the act requires a recovery residence to obtain a license from the behavioral health administration (BHA). The act sets forth application procedures and rules for minimum standards of operating a recovery residence. A recovery residence must report specified occurrences to the BHA, including occurrences that result in the death of or specified injury to a resident, involve abuse and neglect of a resident, involve misappropriation of a resident's property, or in which a resident's drugs are diverted for use by another person. Recovery residence licensing is subject to sunset review prior to its repeal in 2033.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
