An Act To Expand Access To Certified Residential Medication Aide Training

LD 2083 clarifies that Certified Residential Medication Aide (CRMA) certifications are valid for a 2-year period, removing prior ambiguity about the duration. It also allocates $272,316 over two years to fund a new position within the Department of Health and Human Services to oversee the CRMA program, improve training quality, and collaborate with the Board of Nurses. This bill directly affects residential medication aides and facilities that employ them, streamlining certification validity and strengthening program oversight. The key mechanism is clarifying the certification period and providing dedicated funding for program management, not changing eligibility or training requirements.
