Bill > HB4316

This bill amends the Public Health Code to establish a medication aide training and permit program in addition to the existing nurse aide training and permit program. It defines key terms like "medication aide," "medication aide trainer," and "medication aide training program." The bill sets requirements for individuals to engage in practice as a medication aide, including obtaining a registration, and for persons to offer a medication aide training program, including obtaining a permit. It also establishes fees and a dedicated fund for administering the nurse aide and medication aide programs. The new medication aide provisions would sunset on January 1, 2027.
