Bill > HB0472

This bill makes several changes to the Division of Licensing and Background Checks, primarily by renumbering and updating existing sections of law. Key provisions include clarifying the definition of "associated with the licensee" to better define individuals who hold significant influence over a licensed entity, and updating references to the Division of Licensing and Background Checks from its old section number (26B-2-103) to its new one (26B-2-901). It also amends rules regarding the licensing of residential treatment programs and recovery residences, ensuring they accommodate clients using medication-assisted treatment and requiring notification to local governments about new program applications. Additionally, the bill updates the responsibilities of the Division of Licensing and Background Checks, including its role in accrediting intercountry adoption services and establishing health and safety standards for various human services programs. Finally, it clarifies the access and use of information within the Management Information System and the Licensing Information System, particularly concerning child welfare cases and licensing processes, and sets an effective date of May 6, 2026.
