Fiscal Note
HB0137 - Medication Aide Certified
State Impact:
The pilot program will generate $1,500 in revenue to the Commerce Service Fund from fees paid by an estimated 30 participants. Cost for a consultant to design and evaluate the pilot program will cost an estimated $9,000.
| Funding Source | FY 2007 Approp. | FY 2008 Approp. | FY 2007 Revenue | FY 2008 Revenue |
| Commerce Service Fund | $9,000 | $9,000 | $1,500 | $1,500 |
| Total | $9,000 | $9,000 | $1,500 | $1,500 |
Individual and Business Impact:
Participants will pay a $50 application fee and a $39 fingerprint fee. They will probably get at least a $1/hour raise once they become certified. Facilities will save money on salaries as they shift duties from higher paid LPNs and RNs to certified medication aides.
