Senate Floor Amendment No. 2: Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Administrative Act. In provisions requiring the Department of Human Services to develop a medication administration training program for authorized directed staff at certain facilities for individuals with a developmental disability, provides that non-licensed authorized direct care staff must (i) score 100% on the competency-based assessment demonstrating proficiency in the skill of administering medication and (ii) have received additional competency-based assessment by the nurse-trainer whenever it is determined that additional skill development and training is needed to administer a medication. Provides that to assist each individual in attaining the highest possible level of independent functioning, an individual's total health care program shall include individual training in preventive health and self-administration of medication procedures (rather than training in preventive health and self-medication procedures). Requires each program to adopt written policies and procedures for assisting individuals who choose to obtain preventative health and self-administration of medication skills in consultation with a registered professional nurse, advanced practice registered nurse, physician assistant, or licensed physician. For quality assurance, requires a registered professional nurse, advanced practice registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, licensed physician, physician assistant, or pharmacist to review medication labels, including medications listed on the medication administration record for individuals who are not self-administering medication. Adds auto-injectors (rather than epinephrine auto-injectors) to the definition of "medications". Defines "insulin in an injectable or auto-injectable form" (rather than "insulin in an injectable form"). Defines "GLP-1 receptor agonists in an injectable or auto-injectable form". Makes other changes.
