Resolve, Establishing The Study Group On Solutions To Address Maine'S Behavioral Health Workforce Shortage
LD 1380 establishes a 14-member study group to address Maine's behavioral health workforce shortage. The group includes legislators, behavioral health providers, consumer advocates, and state agency representatives. It must review current workforce challenges and assess specific solutions like Washington state's community teaching agency pilot, enhanced loan repayment programs, and student stipends. The study group is required to submit findings and recommended legislation to the Health and Human Services committee by December 3, 2025. This bill does not fund or enact changes but directs a review to inform future policy.
