Bill overview
This bill changes the rules about who can work as a personal care assistant in New Jersey. Currently, personal care assistants are typically required to have specific training and certifications. This legislation allows certified nurse aides (CNAs) – who already have healthcare training – to also be employed as personal care assistants, expanding the pool of qualified workers in this field.
