What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill conforms state law for instructional programs for nurse aides to the

federal law requirements for Medicare and Medicaid. Specifically, the bill prohibits

the Department of Health Services from requiring an instructional program to

exceed the federally required minimum total training hours or minimum hours of

supervised practical training, which is clinical experience, specified in the federal

regulation. The current federal regulation requires no less than 75 hours of training

with at least 16 of those hours being supervised practical training.
