AI Summary

This bill proposes to require public hearings for any proposal to establish a recovery home or "sober home." The public hearings would be administered by the Department of Public Health and would require at least 45 days' notice, including direct notification of abutting property owners within 200 feet of the proposed recovery home. The purpose of these public hearings is to provide transparency and community input for the establishment of these types of facilities, which offer support and housing for individuals recovering from substance use disorders.
