AI Summary
This bill aims to establish a special task force on the Department of Public Health to investigate best practices for alcohol and drug-free "sober home" housing in Massachusetts. The task force would examine various aspects of sober homes, such as the presence of on-site supervisors, access to treatment, medication dispensing practices, local zoning control, and the role of probation officers and sheriffs in monitoring individuals released to these homes. Based on the task force's findings, the Department of Public Health would then promulgate rules and regulations establishing standards of best practice for sober homes, and only those facilities meeting these standards would be authorized to use the "sober home" designation.
