Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to authorize the Office of Inspector General to promulgate a legislative rule relating to delegation of medication administration and health maintenance tasks to approved medication assistive personnel.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Office of Inspector General (OIG), a state agency responsible for overseeing government programs, to create a formal rule, known as a legislative rule, that outlines how certain medication administration and health maintenance tasks can be delegated to approved medication assistive personnel. These personnel are individuals who have received specific training to assist with these tasks. The bill specifically amends an existing legislative rule (71 CSR 17) that was filed on July 25, 2025, by adding clarification that the administration of insulin using a dial-up insulin pen is included within the scope of these delegated tasks, and that setting the dosage on such a pen is considered a routine action, not requiring complex clinical judgment.
