AN ACT relating to community health workers.

SB 203 requires community health worker certifications in Kentucky to be renewed every three years instead of annually. This directly affects certified community health workers who must complete annual continuing education (focused on oral health, maternal/infant care, and geriatric health) to maintain their certification. The bill also allows certified workers to earn college credit for approved training, mentorship, and continuing education. These changes aim to streamline certification while ensuring ongoing competency in key health areas.
