Home Caregiver ID Badges
The Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners enacted the Home Caregiver Ordinance in 2015 requiring ID Badges and Level 2 background checks of Home Caregivers to begin in 2016. The ordinance is enforced primarily by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office and Consumer Affairs Investigators. ID Badges are issued by the Division of Consumer Affairs.
