AN ACT REQUIRING FEAR OF RETALIATION TRAINING FOR PERSONS PROVIDING ASSISTED LIVING SERVICES IN MANAGED RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES.
HB 5141 requires assisted living services agencies in managed residential communities to provide annual training to all their employees about residents' fear of retaliation. The training must cover residents' rights to file complaints, examples of potential retaliation, and ways to prevent it. This law, effective October 1, 2026, applies specifically to licensed agencies providing assisted living services and does not require training to be conducted by social workers.
