AN ACT ALLOWING TRAINED NURSE'S AIDES AND ASSISTED LIVING AIDES TO ADMINISTER MEDICATION TO NURSING HOME AND ASSISTED LIVING RESIDENTS.

HB 6773 (effective October 1, 2025) allows trained nurse's aides and assisted living aides to administer medication in nursing homes and assisted living facilities under specific conditions. The bill permits registered nurses to delegate this task to these trained staff members, provided they’ve completed required training. Facilities must protect the nurses who delegate through indemnification for non-wanton negligence claims. This change directly affects nursing homes, assisted living agencies, and their trained aides by expanding medication administration responsibilities while maintaining oversight by licensed nurses.
