AN ACT CONCERNING HALFWAY HOUSES AND OTHER RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES OPERATED ON BEHALF OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION OR THE BOARD OF PARDONS AND PAROLES.
What changed between versions
Bill title and applicability expanded from halfway houses to include residential facilities operated by the Department of Correction, Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, and Board of Pardons and Paroles.
Eviction process language was replaced with discharge plan compliance requirements, ensuring residents are not discharged without a proper plan and cannot be evicted solely due to facility closure without equivalent placement.
State funding responsibility for closing facilities was removed; operators of closing facilities are now responsible for costs related to relocating residents per discharge plans.
Bill status changed from Raised Bill to Joint Favorable Substitute, indicating committee approval and legislative progression.
