Introduced·2/27/25
Introduced Text

Massachusetts H2381 proposes to mandate accessible CNA training in multiple languages for long-term care facility employees.

Massachusetts H2381 seeks to amend the standards for Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training in long-term care facilities. The bill requires a minimum of sixty hours of training, delivered in languages other than English, including Spanish, Chinese, and Haitian Creole. The Department of Public Health will determine the specific languages offered. This initiative aims to ensure that CNA training is accessible to a broader population, enhancing the quality of care provided in long-term care facilities.
