The bill amends several sections of Florida Statutes related to certified recovery residences. It revises the definition of "certified recovery residence" to specify that such residences must be actively managed by a certified recovery residence administrator and outlines the requirements for Level IV certified recovery residences, which must now be staffed 24 hours a day and combine outpatient services with recovery residential living. The language also clarifies that residents are required to follow a treatment plan and participate in recovery activities, while no clinical services are provided on-site.

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 the seriousness of compliance. The bill also removes a provision regarding licensed service providers under contract with managing entities from the applicability of certain referral regulations. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
