§ 224. Informal caregivers in the workplace program. 1. The office

shall, in conjunction with the department of labor, and in consultation

with community based organizations representing the interests of

informal caregivers around the state, develop and update on a yearly

effectiveness both in and out of the workplace.

department of labor and the department of state. Businesses that obtain

certification or licensure from the department of labor or department of

state shall be provided with a link to the guide provided for in
