California SB412 mandates specific training for home care aides, including entry-level and annual training.

California SB412 amends the Health and Safety Code to require affiliated home care aides to complete a minimum of five hours of entry-level training before working with clients. This training includes two hours of orientation and three hours of safety training. Additionally, aides must complete five hours of annual training focusing on core competencies and population-specific areas such as clients' rights, daily living needs, and abuse prevention. Both trainings can be completed online and the provisions will be in effect until January 1, 2027.
