‘Resolve, To Design and Implement a Demonstration Project on Recertification of Certified Nursing Assistants’
Amend the bill by striking out everything after the title and before the summary and inserting the following:
‘Sec. 1. Demonstration project on recertification of certified nursing assistants. Resolved: That the offices within the Department of Health and Human Services concerning elder services and licensing and regulatory services shall work together with licensed home health agencies and nursing facilities to design and implement a demonstration project on certified nursing assistant qualification for continued listing on the Maine Registry of Certified Nursing Assistants beginning January 1, 2012. The demonstration project must provide a mechanism by which a person who is working as an unlicensed assistive person, as defined in the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 22, section 1812-G, subsection 1-A, paragraph C, may work or serve as a trainee in a licensed home health agency or nursing facility under required supervision in order to qualify for certification on the Maine Registry of Certified Nursing Assistants. The department shall report on the results of the demonstration project to the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over health and human services matters by January 1, 2014.’
summary
This amendment changes the bill to a resolve. The amendment eliminates the provisions of the bill requiring reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities for the certified nursing assistant test and allowing supervision of a certified nursing assistant by a registered nurse in a home care setting for purposes of recertification and retains the provisions of the bill requiring certain offices within the Department of Health and Human Services to implement a demonstration project on certified nursing assistant qualification.
