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.
