SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Licensure conditions for certain methadone clinics; emergency. Prohibits the granting of an initial license to a provider of treatment for persons with opiate addiction through the use of the controlled substance, methadone, or other opioid replacements, if such provider is to be located within a one-half mile of a public or private day care center or public or private K-12 school, except when such service is provided by a hospital licensed by the Board of Health or the Commissioner of the Department of Mental Health, Mental retardation or Substance Abuse Services or owned or operated by an agency of the Commonwealth. Upon receiving a notice of a proposal for or an application to obtain initial licensure from a provider of treatment for persons with opiate addiction through the use of the controlled substance, methadone, or other opioid replacements, the Commissioner must, within 15 days of such receipt, notify the local governing body of and the community services board serving the jurisdiction in which the facility is to be located of such proposal or application and its proposed location. The local governing body and the community services board must submit comments to the Commissioner on the proposal or application within 30 days of the date of the notice. The local governing body must notify the Commissioner of compliance with the location restrictions and any relevant local ordinances. No applicant for a license to provide treatment for persons with opiate addiction through the use of methadone or other opioid replacements that has obtained a certificate of occupancy in accordance with the law and regulations in effect on January 1, 2004, will be required to comply with this law. No existing licensed provider will be required to comply with these provisions in any city or county in which it is currently providing treatment. Further, the location restriction will not apply to the jurisdictions located in Planning District 8, i.e., Northern Virginia. A second enactment clause provides that: the Commissioner must not grant or issue any initial license for a methadone clinic after the date of the enactment of this provision, unless the provider is in compliance with this act.
