Bill > LD1199

This bill directs the Maine Department of Health and Human Services to create a specialized medication administration training program specifically designed for unlicensed staff working at licensed youth camps in the state. The department will convene a work group that includes representatives from the State Board of Nursing, the Alliance for Camp Health, licensed youth camps, and other relevant stakeholders to develop this training program. By February 1, 2026, the department must submit the completed training program, along with potential legislative recommendations, to the Joint Standing Committee on Health and Human Services. The committee will then have the authority to introduce related legislation during the Second Regular Session of the 132nd Legislature. The primary goal of this initiative is to establish a standardized method for training non-licensed personnel who may need to administer medications at youth camps, ensuring proper and safe medication management in these settings.
