FL SB 1030: Recovery Residences
Summary
Florida SB 1030, now enacted as Chapter 2026-123, amends the licensing framework for recovery residences. The enacted law limits DCF to requiring only a Level 2 background screening for certain individuals under specified circumstances and prohibits DCF from requiring existing licensed service providers to admit individuals during a probationary licensing period when certain conditions are met. The bill addresses regulation of BH/SUD residential settings in Florida.
What this may mean
Enacted Florida law modifies DCF licensing and admissions requirements for recovery residences, reducing background screening tiers and restricting DCF authority to compel admissions during probationary license periods. Licensed SUD treatment facilities and recovery residences operating in Florida are directly affected by the revised admissions and screening obligations.
