Bill > HB4112

This bill amends the ID/DD (Intellectual Disabilities/Developmental Disabilities) Community Care Act to expand and clarify the definition of an "administrator" for facilities serving individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. The bill broadens the qualifications for administrators, now allowing individuals who are at least 21 years old to serve in this role if they: are licensed under the Nursing Home Administrators Licensing and Disciplinary Act, are a qualified intellectual disabilities professional, or have completed at least 4 semesters of higher education and have either 2 years of management experience or 2 years of progressive responsibility in healthcare, housing services, adult day care, services for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities, or behavioral health. Additionally, the bill introduces a new requirement that administrators must complete at least 20 hours of training every two years to help them better meet residents' needs and manage facility operations. These changes aim to ensure that facility administrators are well-qualified and continuously educated about best practices in care management. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2027, giving facilities and administrators time to prepare for and implement these new requirements.
