Allows trained assisted living aides to administer medication to assisted living residents in Connecticut.

Connecticut HB05299 aims to allow trained assisted living aides to administer medication to assisted living residents. Effective October 1, 2026, this bill defines "trained assisted living aide" as an aide who has completed specific medication administration training.

This change is intended to improve the efficiency and quality of care in assisted living facilities.
