Bill > HB0098

This bill amends existing Utah law regarding notification requirements for residential treatment programs and similar facilities, which are defined as "regulated residential facilities" and include licensed or certified residential treatment programs, residential support programs, recovery residences, and facilities providing social detoxification services, but exclude congregate care programs and domestic violence treatment facilities. The changes require these regulated residential facilities to notify neighboring properties and residences within 300 feet of their location, either by mail or by attaching a notice to the main entrance, within 30 days before or after they begin providing services. This notice must include the facility's location, its treatment focus, and contact information for a representative. Additionally, the bill clarifies that applicants for a license to operate a residential treatment program must notify the local city or county governing body of their intent to operate and provide proof of this notification with their application, and it updates references to existing law sections. The bill is set to take effect on May 6, 2026.
