Current Utah law requires certain residential treatment programs to notify local government before opening but does not require them to notify nearby residents. This bill would create a broader category called "regulated residential facilities," covering licensed residential treatment programs, residential support programs, recovery residences, and social detoxification facilities, while excluding congregate care programs and domestic violence treatment facilities. It would require these facilities to notify every property owner and resident within 300 feet of the facility's location—by mail or by posting notice at the main entrance—within 30 days before or after the facility begins operating. That notice would need to include the facility's location, a description of its treatment focus, and contact information, including a phone number and email address, for a representative neighbors can reach with questions or concerns.
