De León - Track Record on Recovery Residences,
aka "Sober Living Homes"
State Senator Kevin De León (D) has served as:
2010-2018 Senator, California State Senate
2014-2018 President Pro-Tempore, California State Senate
7/30/07 Voted in favor of SB 992, which required a form of licensure for recovery residences, in Health Committee.
8/30/07 Voted in favor of SB 992 again, in Appropriations Committee.
9/10/07 Voted in favor of SB 992 again, on the floor.
8/15/08 Voted in favor of SB 992 again, on the floor.
8/21/08 Voted in favor of SB 992 again, on the floor.
SB 992 was vetoed by the governor.
6/25/14 Voted in favor of AB 2491, which initially was proposed to declare a third-party, certified residence as exempt form licensure. This is an old trick proposed by industry to exempt its business-operated houses from licensure.
8/4/14 Voted in favor of moving AB 2491 out of Appropriations.
It's apparent that, given significant activity on the part of multiple Assemblymen and State Senators on issues addressing residential recovery, Sen. De León as President of the Senate knows this is an issue in Orange County, and yet he has not exhibited leadership on it.
