Regulates medication administration in certain residential facilities.

Summary

The bill mandates that any medication given in day programs or community‑based residential settings for people with developmental disabilities must be administered by a registered nurse or a certified medication aide who works under a nurse’s direct supervision. It also obligates parents or legal guardians to supply the program’s chief nurse with detailed medication orders for each resident, both at admission and whenever a prescription changes. The goal is to improve safety and oversight of medication use in these facilities.
