Plain-language summary
Beta

This bill would require community health workers in Kentucky to renew their professional certifications every three years. Currently, the law does not include this renewal requirement, and the change would establish an ongoing standard for maintaining certification in this field. Who it may affect: certified community health workers and the populations they serve, such as low-income or medically underserved Kentuckians who rely on their services.
