    Key Takeaways

    • Requires notification to local governments when drug treatment facility licenses are issued.
    • Mandates that initial facility licenses be provisional for one year with potential revocation for violations.
    • Prohibits facilities from reapplying for five years if their provisional license is revoked.
    • Requires licensees to submit completed applications, fire clearance, and fees to maintain active review status.

    Summary

    Assembly Member Valencia's legislation establishes new notification requirements for alcohol and drug treatment facility licensing, requiring the State Department of Health Care Services to inform local governments when issuing operating licenses. Under the measure, the department must provide written notice to the city or county where a facility is located, including the licensee's name, mailing address, and facility location.

    The bill maintains existing licensing procedures, under which facilities must submit a completed application, obtain fire clearance, and pay required fees. Initial licenses remain provisional for one year, during which the department may revoke them if facilities fail to comply with state requirements. Operators whose provisional licenses are revoked cannot reapply for five years. The department retains authority to implement these provisions through provider bulletins and written guidelines until formal regulations are adopted.
