Requires DCA to approve credentialing entity to develop and administer voluntary recovery residence certification program.

New Jersey's S 2315 establishes a voluntary certification program for recovery residences (sober living homes) and their administrators. The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) must approve a nonprofit credentialing entity within 120 days to develop certification standards, conduct inspections, and issue certificates of compliance to facilities managed by certified administrators or peer-managed by residents. Healthcare providers must refer patients only to certified residences listed on the credentialing entity's public website or to residences owned by licensed treatment providers. Certified recovery residences are exempt from health care facility and rooming house regulations, while uncertified facilities remain subject to existing rules.
