Bill > S3055

Introduced Session

This bill clarifies provisions under current law, which require long-term care facilities to ensure that the administrators and staff at the facility receive training: concerning caring for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, queer, and intersex seniors and seniors living with HIV; and preventing discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, intersex status, and HIV status. Specifically, this bill amends the law to provide that the training entity selected by the long-term care facility under existing law is only required to provide in-person training to two designated employees, one which must represent management at the facility and one which must represent direct care staff at the facility. The bill further clarifies that these two designated employees are required to provide training, utilizing the information and training materials received from the selected training entity, to train the remaining administrators and staff members employed at the facility.
