- Creates a state-funded scholarship program to attract and retain PCA workers
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Individuals with disabilities and older adults who rely on PCA services
- Personal care attendants, who will benefit from higher wages, training, and professional development opportunities
- Medicaid and other state-funded programs that provide PCA services
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
The proposed bill is based on a working group report that has been placed on file. It will require further legislative action, such as being introduced as a formal bill, before it can proceed through the normal legislative process.
