Alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities.

Existing law requires the State Department of Health Care Services to license adult alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities, as defined. Existing law authorizes the department to issue a provisional one-year license that the department may revoke for good cause, and prohibits a provisional licensee from reapplying for an initial license for 5 years following a revocation of a provisional license. Existing law requires the department, on or before July 1, 2022, to promulgate regulations to implement these provisions, and authorizes the department to implement these provisions by means of provider bulletins, written guidelines, or similar instructions, until regulations are adopted. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
