An Act To Provide Substance Use Disorder Counseling For Mainecare Members With An Acquired Brain Injury

This bill amends an existing law to authorize funding for substance use disorder counseling as part of rehabilitative services for MaineCare members who have sustained an acquired brain injury. The legislation allocates specific budget amounts from the General Fund and the Federal Expenditures Fund for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 fiscal years to cover these costs. By adding this section, the bill ensures that eligible individuals with brain injuries can access necessary counseling support through the state's medical assistance program.
