HI HB652

Establishes a Workforce Development and Support Center within the Executive Office on Aging to address Hawaii's caregiver workforce shortage.

Requires the center to develop a workforce pilot project that identifies resource gaps, creates a statewide recruitment and retention campaign, and develops standards for nonclinical direct care workers.

Directs the center to support caregivers through education and training programs, including active aging programs, informal caregiver training, and professional development courses for employers and employees.

Appropriates general revenue funds for fiscal years 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 to establish and operate the center (specific amount not specified in document).

Terminates the workforce pilot project on June 30, 2026, with the Act taking effect on June 30, 2050.
