Bill > SB0569

This bill modifies the Public Health Code to update fees and regulations for nurse aides and medication aides in Michigan. Specifically, the bill introduces new provisions for late renewal fees of $75 for both nurse aide and medication aide registrations and permits, allowing the department to increase fees annually by an amount matching the average wage increase for civil service employees. For nurse aides, the existing biennial fees remain unchanged, including a $40 registration fee, $60 trainer fee, and varying training program fees ($300 for most sites, $100 for secondary education or skilled nursing facilities), with an additional $175 competency examination fee. For medication aides, the bill maintains existing biennial fees including a $160 registration fee, $200 trainer fee, $500 training program fee, and $175 competency examination fee. The bill also clarifies requirements for obtaining and maintaining medication aide registrations, including working at least 2,000 hours as a nurse aide in the past two years, completing an approved training program, and passing a competency examination. Additionally, the bill requires the department to provide an annual fee schedule to specific government officials by August 1st each year, ensuring transparency in fee structures for these healthcare professional categories.
