LD 505 Maine Senate · 131st Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act To Update Reimbursement Rates For Transportation Of Deceased Persons By Funeral Homes

This bill allocates $150,000 from the state's General Fund for the 2024-25 fiscal year to reimburse funeral homes for transporting deceased individuals to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Augusta. The funding specifically covers increased rates for transportation and wait time services requested by these establishments. By removing the appropriation for the previous fiscal year, the legislation ensures that financial support begins only in the upcoming budget cycle.
