Senate passes bill requiring a certified medication-aid registry on DIAL website
Summary
House file 26 80, moved by Senator Costello, requires the Department of Inspections, Appeals and Licensing (DIAL) to establish a medication-aid certification registry on its website to make employer verification easier; the Senate passed the bill and ordered it messaged to the House.
Senator Costello (Senator from Mills) introduced House file 26 80, describing it as a certified medication-aid registry and rules package. He said the bill requires the Department of Inspections, Appeals and Licensing (DIAL) to establish a medication-aid certification registry on the department's website so that entities offering the department-approved MA exam can submit proof that an individual successfully completed the exam, simplifying employer verification.
With no further floor discussion, Senator Costello moved that the bill be read for the final time and placed on its passage. The clerk read the bill and the title was agreed to. The secretary opened the voting system and recorded votes; the roll call was reported as I 46, nay 0 and the bill was declared to have passed the Senate. Senator Costello asked unanimous consent to withdraw the companion Senate file 2366; hearing no objections, that was ordered and the House file was messaged to the House.
The floor transcript does not include fiscal estimates or detailed implementation steps beyond the department registry requirement.
