Bill > HB0472

This bill makes several changes to the Division of Licensing and Background Checks, primarily by renumbering and updating existing sections of law related to its structure and responsibilities. Key provisions include redefining what it means to be "associated with the licensee" to encompass individuals with significant influence over operations or compliance, clarifying the definition of "day treatment" services, 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). Additionally, the bill amends rules regarding the licensing of residential treatment programs and recovery residences, including requirements for them to accept clients using medication-assisted treatment, and updates provisions related to mobile medication-assisted treatment units for opioid use disorder. The bill also modifies how information is managed and accessed within the department's Management Information System and Licensing Information System, particularly concerning child welfare cases and licensing processes, and clarifies the Division of Licensing and Background Checks' authority to investigate and take action against child-placing agencies. Finally, the bill specifies an effective date of May 6, 2026.
