This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to adopt rules that require employees who have been found to have failed to perform their jobs properly to undergo a thorough job review. If an employee manages cases as part of their duties, the review must include a case review. The review will examine the employee's job performance records for the prior 3 years, including their responses to delegated tasks. If a pattern of failure to perform their duties is found, the employee will be placed on probation and receive remedial training. If an employee has a pattern of putting lives at great risk, they will be terminated. The bill also directs the commissioner to amend or repeal any administrative rules that contradict this section. The bill will take effect on January 1, 2025.

According to the fiscal note, this legislation is expected to have a total fiscal impact of less than $10,000 in each of the fiscal years 2025 through 2027. The Department of Health and Human Services was contacted regarding this bill.
