This proposed rulemaking is necessitated by the adoption of Public Law 2023, Chapter 412, which is the biennium budget for July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2025 that was signed into law by the Governor during the 2023 special legislative session. The budget allocated $5.5 million for Home-Delivered Meals for certain eligible older adults, and this rule operationalizes this service. Additionally, this proposed rule clarifies the monetary cap on the annual cost of respite services for older adults, and it clarifies the limit at which monthly service hour caps can be exceeded for adults receiving Adult Day Services reimbursable by Home Based Supports and Services (HBSS) funds. It also makes formatting adjustments for consistency.
Section 63 is a hybrid routine technical/major substantive rule. However, no changes to the major substantive part of the rule – subsection 63.12 – are proposed. As a result, this rulemaking follows the provisions for routine technical rulemaking in the Maine Administrative Procedure Act.
