SB 486 California Senate · 2019-2020 Regular Session

Recovery residences.

Summary

Existing law generally provides for the administration of public health. Existing law requires the State Department of Health Care Services to license and regulate alcoholism and drug abuse recovery and treatment facilities for adults. Existing law prohibits specified persons, programs, or entities from giving or receiving remuneration or anything of value for the referral of a person who is seeking alcoholism or drug abuse recovery and treatment services. Existing law authorizes the department to investigate and impose specified sanctions for violations of that prohibition, including assessing a penalty or revoking a license. This bill would prohibit a commercially operated recovery residence from giving or receiving remuneration or anything of value for the referral of a person who is seeking alcoholism or drug abuse recovery and treatment services, and would require the department to impose a fine of $50,000 for each violation.
