Alcohol and drug programs.
- Requires drug treatment facilities to report all financial transactions with recovery residences annually starting July 2026.
- Mandates state investigations of unlicensed treatment facilities within 10 days of receiving complaints.
- Imposes a $2,000 daily fine on unlicensed facilities that continue operating after receiving cease orders.
- Prohibits facilities caught operating without a license from applying for licensure for five years.
Senator Umberg's alcohol and drug treatment facility oversight legislation establishes new timelines for investigating unlicensed operations while expanding financial monitoring requirements for licensed providers. The Department of Public Health must now initiate investigations of unlicensed facility complaints within 10 days and complete them within 60 days, unless additional agency assistance or resources are needed.
The bill requires licensed facilities to disclose any contractual relationships with external treatment providers and report all financial transactions with recovery residences annually beginning July 15, 2026. These reports aim to document money transfers between facilities and sober living homes. The department must analyze this data and develop guidelines distinguishing permissible from prohibited financial arrangements.
In counties operating Drug Medi-Cal organized delivery systems with recovery housing services, behavioral health agencies may request authorization to inspect recovery residences suspected of providing unlicensed treatment. The department can approve these requests if it has evidence supporting the allegations but cannot meet the new investigation deadlines. Facilities found operating without required licenses face $2,000 daily civil penalties and five-year prohibitions on applying for licensure.
