Resolve, To Establish The Rural Health Services Task Force

This bill amends a resolution to create a Rural Health Services Task Force by adding an emergency clause so the group can begin work immediately. It modifies the task force's membership to include a representative for rural employers and changes the behavioral health member to come from a statewide organization rather than a specific rural area. The legislation also authorizes a one-time $120,000 appropriation to fund a third-party contractor to assist the task force in studying rural healthcare delivery in Maine.
