Bill > AB492

This bill amends existing California law regarding the licensing of alcohol and drug recovery or treatment facilities by the State Department of Health Care Services. Currently, the department can issue a license to such facilities after receiving a completed application, fire clearance, and licensing fee. The new bill adds a requirement that when the department issues a license, it must simultaneously send written notification to the city or county where the facility is located. This notification must include the licensee's name, mailing address, and the facility's location. The bill does not fundamentally change the licensing process itself, but introduces a new transparency measure that ensures local governments are promptly informed about new alcohol and drug treatment facilities in their jurisdictions. The requirement is designed to help local authorities be aware of such facilities, potentially aiding in community planning and awareness of recovery and treatment resources.
