Existing law establishes the State Department of Public Health and sets forth its powers and duties to license and administer health facilities, as defined, including skilled nursing facilities and intermediate care facilities. Existing law requires skilled nursing facilities and intermediate care facilities to adopt certified nurse assistant training programs approved by the department. A violation of the provisions relating to those training requirements is a misdemeanor. Existing law requires the department to prepare and maintain a list of approved training programs for nurse assistant certification, including training programs conducted by skilled nursing facilities or intermediate care facilities, as well as local agencies and education programs. This bill additionally would require the department, no later than December 31, 2025, to solicit applications from vendors to provide the written and oral competency examination of a nurse assistant certification examination in Spanish. The bill also would require the department, by July 1, 2029, to publish on its internet website, and to update at least twice annually, a list of information including, but not limited to, approved training programs, as specified, competency test pass rates for the previous 2 years, aggregated by the language in which the test was taken, and the number of nurse assistants trained in the previous 2 years.
