| 114-hr-6070 | 114 | hr | 6070 | Safe Recovery and Community Empowerment Act | Housing and Community Development | 2016-09-20 | 2016-09-30 | Referred to the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice. | House | Rep. Issa, Darrell E. [R-CA-49] | CA | R | I000056 | 4 | Safe Recovery and Community Empowerment Act This bill amends the Fair Housing Act to authorize a local, state, or federal government body to: limit the number of residential recovery facilities within a particular area zoned for residential housing, provided that the limitation is necessary to preserve the residential character of the area, allows for a reasonable number of such facilities to be located within such area, and does not place an overall cap on their number within a municipality or state; and require a facility to obtain an operating license or use permit or satisfy a set of consumer protection standards. A residential recovery facility is a residence that provides housing to individuals in recovery from drug or alcohol addiction with the promise of providing a clean and sober environment in return for direct or indirect payment to an owner, operator, or compensated staff person. Facilities receiving payments from a federal health care program, or via private insurance purchased on a federal exchange or federally subsidized, for either housing, recovery services, or testing or monitoring for drugs or alcohol, shall ensure that residents be provided a safe living environment completely free from illicit drugs, alcohol, firearms, harassment, abuse, or harm. | 2023-01-11T13:33:47Z |
