The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 254B.181, subdivision 1, to enhance the requirements for sober homes. Key modifications include the stipulation that sober homes must maintain a supply of an opiate antagonist in a conspicuous location and post information on its proper use. Additionally, the bill introduces a requirement for sober homes to permit residents to use legally prescribed medications for opioid use disorder and other co-occurring conditions, replacing the previous policy that was ambiguous regarding the use of such medications.

Other requirements outlined in the bill include the establishment of written policies on medication access, evictions, and the return of property to discharged residents. Sober homes must also document emergency contact information, maintain community emergency resource contacts, and have policies promoting resident participation in treatment and recovery supports. The bill emphasizes the importance of compliance with state laws and local ordinances, ensuring that sober homes operate within a framework that prioritizes the health and safety of their residents.
