Relative to substance use and alcohol addiction centers and clinics in low income municipalities. Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery.
AI Summary
This bill aims to prevent the over-saturation of substance use and alcohol addiction centers and clinics in low-income neighborhoods without local approval under the Dover amendment. It requires that any land or structures located in low-income cities or towns that are used for educational purposes, including opening substance abuse or alcohol rehabilitation centers or clinics, must first obtain approval from the local legislative body. Additionally, the bill states that if a person, organization, or corporation purchases property within a city or town to be used for educational purposes but fails to substantially improve the property within two years, the property will be assessed at its highest and best commercial use rate with no exemption.
