It’s important to know that you do not have to go through this alone! Give us a call and we will walk you through the process.

CIVIL PENALTIES BROKEN DOWN:

Civil penalties for operating a residential treatment facility without a license increased from two hundred dollars ($200) a day to two thousand dollars ($2,000) a day for every day the facility continues to provide services.

Civil penalties assessed against a licensed residential treatment facility for regulatory and statutory violations increased to no less than two hundred fifty ($250) or no more

than five hundred ($500) per day for each violation unless the nature or seriousness of the violation warrants a higher penalty. The maximum daily civil penalty shall not exceed one thousand ($1,000) per day. Civil penalties assessed for repeating the same violation also increased as set forth in HSC Section 11834.34, subsection (a)(2) and (3).
