This assembly bill was introduced by Assembly Member Grayson on January 24, 2024. The proposed legislation aims to articulate the Legislature's observations and pronouncements regarding the necessity for proficient caregivers for individuals with developmental disabilities within the state. It mandates the Chancellor's office to formulate a standardized curriculum model for a certification program catering to caregivers of individuals with developmental disabilities. This program is intended to be accessible at community college campuses where there exists substantial student demand and adequately qualified faculty to support the certification initiative. Additionally, the bill mandates the Chancellor's office to engage in consultations with experts and organizations knowledgeable in providing care for individuals with developmental disabilities and in training professionals for this purpose, during the curriculum development process.
