House Bill No. 5141 mandates that all licensed assisted living services agencies (ALSAs) providing services in managed residential communities (MRCs) ensure their employees receive annual in-service training focused on addressing residents' fears of retaliation. The training must cover residents' rights to file complaints, examples of potential retaliation by employees, and strategies to prevent such retaliation and alleviate residents' concerns. The individual conducting the training must be knowledgeable about the specific needs of the resident population served by the agency, although they are not required to be a qualified social worker or consultant.

The bill introduces a new subsection (h) to Section 19a-564 of the general statutes, effective October 1, 2026, which outlines these training requirements. There are no deletions from current law, and the bill is expected to have no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities.
