Substance Abuse Group Homes Amendments of 2001

H.R. 2844, the Substance Abuse Group Homes Amendments of 2001, would require state and local officials to consult with the public before establishing new substance abuse recovery group homes. Under this bill, officials would be required to hold public discussions regarding the home’s governing policies and its potential impact on the surrounding neighborhood. Additionally, the legislation mandates that local authorities monitor residents to ensure they are complying with the specific conditions and rules established for the home.
