Bill > HB922

This bill requires the Behavioral Health Administration, which is the state agency responsible for overseeing behavioral health programs, to create regulations that allow these programs to move to a new location. These new regulations must include a way to quickly approve relocations for existing programs, allowing them to reuse previously submitted documents if the information is still valid, and permitting temporary approval to operate at the new site if it meets safety standards. The regulations will also allow the Administration to consider a program's past compliance record to speed up the review process for relocations and will mandate clear timelines and standards for this process.
