I support petition as written
 

I support petition as written. I currently work for a small, assisted living. I expressed interest to the owner that I would like to become an Administrator. The owner is a preceptor. My employer is unable to train me due to the current regulation in place. They have called around to local large, assisted living facilities which are AIT training facilities. They have been told time and again they cannot or will not train me due to privacy concerns. That being the case, I have not submitted an application to become an Administrator as of yet as we have not found a place who is willing to train me. I like where I work. I do not want to work at a large facility. We feel frozen. Here I am wanting to become an Administrator. I cannot be trained where I work, and we have been turned away elsewhere due to this unfair regulation. Thank you to the Board for considering the petition and your hard work.
