S.F. No. 1865 - Clarifying Training Requirements for Staff in Adult Foster Homes Serving Individuals with Mental Illness
 
Author: Senator Chris A. Eaton
 
Prepared By: Joan White, Senate Counsel (651/296-3814)
 
Date: March 21, 2014



 

          This bill amends the Department of Human Services Licensing Act, specifically the provision relating to adult foster care homes serving people with mental illness, by clarifying that these homes are to serve people with the "primary diagnosis" of mental illness.  Adds that the requirements for certification include training on suicide intervention, warning signs and appropriate responses, and a crisis plan.  New paragraph (c) requires that the training be approved by the commissioner and include a testing component, and specifies who may provide the training.
