AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Office of Inspector General, a state agency responsible for overseeing programs and operations, to create and implement a formal rule regarding the delegation of certain tasks related to medication administration and health maintenance to approved medication assistive personnel, who are individuals trained to assist with these duties. Specifically, the bill amends an existing legislative rule, identified as 71 CSR 17, by adding language to clarify that the administration of insulin using a dial-up insulin pen is permitted under this delegation, and that setting the prescribed dosage on such a pen is considered a routine, administrative action rather than a complex medical judgment.
