Official description

Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Provides that the amendatory changes apply to Home Services Program rehabilitation counselors and to those homemaker agency employees who provide direct care services to individuals participating in the Home Services Program (rather than to direct service workers employed by the Department of Human Services or by an agency that is contracted with the Department). Requires such persons to complete dementia training totaling at least 2 hours at the start of their employment (rather than shall complete at least 2 hours of dementia training at the start of their employment). Provides that an individual who is required to receive dementia training under any other law or rule may be considered exempt from the requirements of the amendatory Act if the other law's or rule's training requirement includes a minimum 2 hours of dementia training in the required subjects (rather than a minimum 2 hours of dementia training). Provides that for individual providers (rather than personal assistants), the Department shall work with the joint training committee established by the collective bargaining agreement covering individual providers (rather than personal assistants) to discuss parameters and specific topics for curriculum covering dementia training as part of the provided training for individual providers (rather than personal assistants).
