Public Act 26-50 · House Bill 5143

Connecticut's home-care compliance platform.

When PA 26-50 takes effect January 1, 2027, every homemaker-companion agency in Connecticut must train its caregivers and prove it. Companza is the platform built for this law: training, audit-ready records, attestation tracking, portable credentials, and annual CE — all in one place. Connecticut-specific. Not just an online course.

DCP's approved training program list is expected in fall 2026. Companza is built to meet the state's criteria and will seek inclusion on the approved list as soon as the process opens.

The requirements

What Public Act 26-50 means for your agency

Signed into law on May 20, 2026, Connecticut Public Act 26-50 creates the state's first mandatory training requirement for homemaker-companion agency employees. In brief:

8 paid hours of initial training

For every new employee — within 90 days of hire.

Annual continuing education

For all employees, from a state-approved program list.

Seven required topics

Safe environment practices, abuse & neglect reporting, changes in condition, non-medical dementia care, and more.

Documentation requirements

Signed attestation forms, records on file, and an annual attestation to DCP — the first due January 1, 2027.

What the law requires

What your agency must do by January 1, 2027

Beginning January 1, 2027, every Connecticut homemaker-companion agency must:

  • Provide 8 hours of approved training to each new caregiver (within 90 days of hire)
  • Provide annual continuing education
  • Keep signed completion records and training-content summaries on file
  • Submit an annual attestation to the Department of Consumer Protection
  • Have documentation ready if the state requests it

Companza is built to handle all of it.
