Supporting caregivers who provide complex care services to children with heightened medical needs.

The bill defines "complex care services" as care provided by a parent, guardian, family member, or close association to a child under 18 receiving private duty nursing. It mandates that caregivers complete 75 hours of accredited training and be competent to provide such services. The bill also requires home health agencies to cover all training costs and prohibits reimbursement from caregivers. It allows caregivers to change employers without repeating training and mandates a report by September 1, 2029, assessing the program's viability.
