This bill amends several sections of Florida Statutes related to certified recovery residences. It revises the definition of a certified recovery residence to specify that a Level IV certified recovery residence must be staffed 24 hours a day and combine outpatient services with recovery residential living. The language has been updated to indicate that residents are now "required to be" in the residence while receiving care, rather than "are required to" reside there.

Additionally, the bill mandates that a credentialing entity must revoke a certified recovery residence's certificate of compliance if it provides false or misleading information, emphasizing that this must be done if the information is given willfully, knowingly, or intentionally. The bill also removes a provision that exempted licensed service providers under contract with a managing entity from certain referral prohibitions. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
