Bill Caption
Relating to training and continuing education requirements
for certain long-term care facilities.
Fiscal Notes
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
This bill would allow the Department of Aging and Disability Services to waive the extra training requirements for surveyors who have previous experience (in the previous two years) working in a long-term care facility as a nursing facility administrator, licensed vocational nurse, registered nurse, or social worker.
Vote Recommendation Notes
This bill furthers our limited government principles by allowing a surveyor that has had previous experience in long-term care facilities to skip the training that requires they observe the operations of the facility. This would likely save time and money as well as further our personal responsibility principles, since it is the responsibility of the surveyor and the facility to decide the training necessary for the job. For these reasons, we support this legislation.
