Regulates medication administration in certain licensed, residential facilities.

Summary

The bill requires any medication given in a day habilitation program or a licensed group home or supervised apartment to be administered by a registered nurse or a certified medication aide who works under a nurse’s supervision. Parents or legal guardians must supply the facility’s chief nurse with detailed, written medication orders for any resident they supervise, especially when dosages change. The Department of Human Services is authorized to issue rules to enforce these requirements, and the law takes effect immediately.
