Plain-English articles on Connecticut Public Act 26-50 and what it means for a Connecticut homemaker companion agency: the training hours, the forms, the deadlines, and the records behind them. Written from the primary sources, with a link to each one.
A plain-English guide to Connecticut Public Act 26-50: 8 paid training hours, the approved program list, completion forms, the annual DCP attestation, and the records your agency must keep.
Connecticut PA 26-50's January 1, 2027 attestation is your agency agreeing to follow the training law - not proof that training is done. What to submit, what to keep, and what the statute actually says.
Section 1(d) of PA 26-50 applies Connecticut's new caregiver training requirements to registries that supply, refer, or place homemaker and companion workers. What registries must do before placement.
The statute says annual continuing education plus every approved program every two calendar years; DCP's page says 8 paid hours at least once every two calendar years. Both texts, side by side, for Connecticut agencies.
PA 26-50 changes what Connecticut homemaker-companion agencies can say in advertising - memory-care training claims need specifics, false compliance claims are misleading advertising, and the nonmedical disclaimer still applies.
