State legislators in the House voted Tuesday, March 10, to approve a bill that would reclassify nonmedical group homes statewide and place them under the jurisdiction of the state Department of Health Services.
Rep. Noel Campbell, R-Prescott, is among the bill’s primary sponsors and spoke Tuesday on the floor of the House of Representatives in an effort to clear up what he deemed to be “misinformation” about his bill.
“The problem the City of Prescott faces is a problem that’s going to come near you,” Campbell warned fellow legislators.
He described the industry of residential group housing facilities in Prescott, calling it “unregulated” and having “no accountability.”
