AI Summary
This bill modifies the existing regulations for investigating complaints about alcohol and drug recovery or treatment facilities by requiring the State Department of Health Care Services to take specific actions when receiving complaints. Under the new provisions, the department must assign a complaint to an analyst within 10 days of receipt and complete the investigation within 60 days, with exceptions for cases requiring assistance from other agencies or significant additional resources. If the complaint is outside the department's jurisdiction, they must notify the complainant in writing. If the investigation cannot be completed within 60 days, the department must provide a written explanation to the complainant detailing the reason for the delay. This bill aims to improve the responsiveness and transparency of the complaint investigation process for alcohol and drug recovery facilities by establishing clear timelines and communication requirements for the investigating department.
