Permits certified nurse aides to be employed as personal care assistants.

It removes a current restriction preventing CNAs from working in this specific role within licensed facilities. The key change permits facilities to hire CNAs - whether fully certified or conditionally certified - to provide personal care services. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment.
