Bill > HB06594

This bill establishes a pilot virtual training program at a nonprofit provider of residential, education, community, and home-based services in the state, specifically designed to offer online educational opportunities for students who are pursuing certification as a nurse's aide or emergency medical technician (EMT). The program aims to provide an alternative, technology-enabled pathway for students to complete the necessary training and certification requirements for these critical healthcare support roles. By offering virtual education, the bill seeks to potentially increase accessibility to these important healthcare training programs, which could help address workforce shortages and provide more flexible learning options for students who may face barriers to traditional in-person training. The pilot program appears to be focused on creating a more adaptable and convenient approach to professional certification in the medical support sector.
