In plain language
This bill requires recovery residences in Colorado to obtain a license from the behavioral health administration.
Starting July 1, 2027, recovery residences in Colorado must be licensed by the behavioral health administration instead of just certified. They will also need to follow specific operational standards and report serious incidents to the administration.
What this means for you
- Families: This means families may have more assurance of safety and standards in recovery residences where their loved ones stay.
Summary
Current law requires a recovery residence operated in Colorado to be certified by a third-party certifying body, unless the recovery residence has been operating in Colorado for 30 or more years as of May 23, 2019. Beginning July 1, 2027, the act requires a recovery residence to obtain a license from the behavioral health administration (BHA). The act sets forth application procedures and rules for minimum standards of operating a recovery residence. A recovery residence must report specified occurrences to the BHA, including occurrences that result in the death of or specified injury to a resident, involve abuse and neglect of a resident, involve misappropriation of a resident's property, or in which a resident's drugs are diverted for use by another person. Recovery residence licensing is subject to sunset review prior to its repeal in 2033.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)

What changed in the latest version
764 added · 815 removedPlain-language change summary
The key change in SB 113 is that recovery residences in Colorado will now need to obtain a license from the Behavioral Health Administration starting July 1, 2027. Previously, these residences could be certified by third-party organizations, unless they had been operating for over 30 years. This change is important because it aims to establish a higher standard of accountability and oversight for facilities that provide housing to individuals dealing with behavioral health issues, ensuring better care and safety for residents.

Frequently asked questions
- What does SB 113 do?
- Current law requires a recovery residence operated in Colorado to be certified by a third-party certifying body, unless the recovery residence has been operating in Colorado for 30 or more years as of May 23, 2019. Beginning July 1, 2027, the act requires a recovery residence to obtain a license from the behavioral health administration (BHA). The act sets forth application procedures and rules for minimum standards of operating a recovery residence. A recovery residence must report specified occurrences to the BHA, including occurrences that result in the death of or specified injury to a resident, involve abuse and neglect of a resident, involve misappropriation of a resident's property, or in which a resident's drugs are diverted for use by another person. Recovery residence licensing is subject to sunset review prior to its repeal in 2033.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
