Minor cost increase - General Fund
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	The bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) amend its rules so that the cost of continuing education for direct care staff is included as a direct care cost component rather than a routine cost component. The fiscal impact from the rule change is a minor cost to DHHS that can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
