A bill for an act relating to training for health care facility inspectors, and making appropriations.

HF 2383 creates a program to help certified nurse aides transition into health care facility inspector roles. It requires the state department to establish continuing education for dual certification as both a nurse aide and inspector, and funds a grant program offering up to $2,000 per applicant to cover training costs based on their experience and training needs. The bill also mandates community colleges to develop a 30-40 hour certificate program on inspection processes, abuse prevention, and incident reporting, designed to complement nursing assistant training. These provisions aim to expand the pool of qualified inspectors while providing structured pathways for current nurse aides to advance their careers.
