This bill establishes regulations for the administration of medication in community-based residential programs and day programs for individuals with developmental disabilities. It specifies that no medication can be administered unless it is done by a nurse or a certified medication aide under the direct supervision of a nurse. The bill also outlines the definitions of key terms such as "community-based residential program," "day program," and "certified medication aide," ensuring clarity in the roles and responsibilities of those involved in medication administration.

Additionally, the bill mandates that individuals requiring medication management must have their parent or legal guardian provide comprehensive medical documentation to the program's chief nurse before admission and whenever there are changes to the individual's medication or dosage. This requirement aims to ensure that all medication administration is conducted safely and in accordance with specific medical instructions. The Department of Human Services is authorized to adopt necessary rules and regulations to implement these provisions effectively.
