This bill establishes definitions and regulations for treatment providers and recovery residences in New Jersey, specifically focusing on the marketing practices and accountability of these entities. A "recovery residence" is defined as a licensed boarding house that offers a sober living environment for individuals with substance use disorders, while a "treatment provider" refers to facilities licensed for substance use disorder treatment. The bill mandates that any marketing materials from these providers must contain accurate and complete information regarding their services, locations, and contact details.

Additionally, the bill outlines unlawful practices for treatment providers and recovery residences, including making false statements about their status, services, or affiliations. Violations of these provisions can result in civil penalties of up to $20,000 per violation, and individuals harmed by such practices may seek damages in court, with the possibility of triple damages awarded. The Department of Health and the Department of Community Affairs are granted the authority to investigate violations and impose penalties or revoke licenses as necessary. The act is set to take effect immediately upon approval.
