What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires counties that contract with a community-based residential

facility to serve certain client groups, including those with serious and persistent

mental illness, those in supervised release from commitment as sexually violent

persons, or those under the legal custody of a government correctional agency or

under the legal jurisdiction of a criminal court, to 1) send public notices to local

elected officials and certain residents living near the proposed facility about the

proposed facility and 2) hold at least one public listening session and informational

hearing about the proposed CBRF before the Department of Health Services may

license the CBRF. The bill also requires DHS to make available certain information

regarding applicants for CBRF licenses and complaints regarding CBRFs. Finally,

the bill requires that a county holding a contract with a CBRF is responsible for

providing or reimbursing the costs for providing a law enforcement response to that

CBRF.
