LD 208 Maine House · 131st Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act Concerning Home Care Services

This bill modifies the requirements for home care services in Maine by delaying the start date for a new assessment process until October 1, 2024. It also removes the funding allocated for fiscal year 2023-24 that was intended to pay a third-party entity to evaluate children under 21 for private duty nursing and personal care services. The changes directly affect the Department of Health and Human Services, which will no longer be required to contract for these assessments in the current fiscal year.
