LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 626, as introduced, Walters. Adult substance abuse recovery maintenance facilities.
Existing law provides for the licensure, certification, and regulation of alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities serving adults, administered by the State Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs. Existing law requires the department to grant certification to any alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment program wishing to receive, and requesting, the certification. Existing law exempts an alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility that serves 6 or fewer persons from any business taxes, local registration fees, use permits, or other fees to which a single family residence is not likewise subject.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 11834.22 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read:

11834.22.
 An alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility which that serves six or fewer persons shall not be subject to any business taxes, local registration fees, use permit fees, or other fees to which other single-family dwellings are not likewise subject. Nothing in this section shall be construed to forbid the imposition of local property taxes, fees for water service and garbage collection, fees for inspections not prohibited by Section 11834.23, local bond assessments, and other fees, charges, and assessments to which other single-family dwellings are likewise subject. Neither the State Fire Marshal nor any local public entity shall charge any fee for enforcing fire inspection regulations pursuant to state law or regulation or local ordinance, with respect to alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities which that serve six or fewer persons.
