MINOR
The bill was amended to shift its focus from establishing a general training program to requiring formal certification and attestation for care managers. This change strengthens accountability by mandating that organizations verify training completion before assigning staff to clients and by requiring them to maintain and provide documentation of compliance.
Scope change
The scope changed from a general mandate for training to a specific requirement for certification, attestation, and record-keeping regarding that training.
REQUIREMENT
Replaced the requirement for a 'comprehensive training program' with a mandate that care managers must be certified and attested as having completed all applicable training before providing services.
Authorized the office to promulgate specific rules and regulations defining standards for certification, documentation, and compliance.
ENFORCEMENT
Added new requirements for care coordination organizations to certify training completion in a prescribed form and to maintain documentation proving compliance, which must be available to the office upon request.
