Digest
HB 339 amends the Texas Local Government Code to allow municipalities to adopt standards for structured sober living homes. Under this bill, municipalities can establish guidelines that require these homes to comply with state and federal fair housing laws and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Municipalities may also require structured sober living homes to provide residents with written notice of the home’s location, name, and ownership details, maintain supervision during all hours of operation, and implement an operational plan covering property maintenance, noise abatement, and discharge planning. Municipalities may exempt homes with adequate oversight from other government entities from these standards.
