AI Summary
This bill seeks to regulate recovery housing in Massachusetts. It repeals an existing section of the law, and adds a new section that requires the Bureau of Substance Addiction Services to determine the regional need for recovery housing, and to issue permits for such housing, with restrictions on locating recovery housing in "impacted communities" that meet certain demographic criteria. The bill also sets timelines for existing recovery housing operators to apply for permits, and requires the Bureau to promulgate regulations to implement the new provisions within 90 days of the bill's passage.
