Revise laws related to community homes for people with developmental disabilities

SB 125 updates Montana's rules for community homes supporting people with developmental disabilities. It requires homes to create written health and safety policies, mandates a 28-day public comment period on license applications for neighbors within half a mile, and establishes a formal complaint process with the Department of Public Health and Human Services. The department must investigate complaints about policy violations or unsafe conditions, attempt mediation, and issue findings within 180 days. These changes directly affect community homes, the licensing department, and nearby residents who can provide input on new facilities.
