Vital Records Fees -Emergency Rule

Date posted:

Attachment(s):

Maine’s Department of Health and Human Services Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention is adopting this rule on an emergency basis to assess an additional $5.00 for burial-transit permits issued under this rule, ensuring that the legislatively mandated burial-transit permit fee increase is accurately reflected in the Department’s rule that contains vital records fees. This emergency adoption will update the charges for the permit required for the transportation, temporary storage, disinterment, or final disposition of a dead human body and enable the Department to specify in the rule that the additional $5.00 fee charged will be deposited into the Cemetery Preservation Fund, in accordance with 13 MRS § 1374, which governs the Maine State Preservation Commission. This emergency rule change becomes effective immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State and is concurrent with the Department’s emergency adoption of changes to its Transportation and Final Disposition of Dead Bodies Rule (10-146 CMR Chapter 1), to comply with Public Law 2023, Chapter 677 and required the Department to increase its burial transit permit fee by amending Chapter 1, which was required by December 15, 2024.
