Relates to informal caregiver training
This bill creates a state program to provide training and support for informal caregivers - family members or friends who provide daily care to people with disabilities or health challenges. It expands the definition of "person in need of assistance" to include anyone requiring help with daily tasks (like bathing or eating) due to disability, including minors under 18. The program requires the state director to develop training curricula, establish caregiver resource centers, and offer technical assistance on topics such as health care, stress management, and financial resources. The director must also report annually on program participation and effectiveness.
