AGENCY: 10-149, 14-197 Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Aging and Disability Services
CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE: 

Repeal Title 14-197, Chapter 3, Definition of Mental Retardation and Autism; Appeal Procedure

Replace with Title 10-149, Chapter 5, Section 2, Developmental Disability Services for Adults with an Intellectual Disability or Autism Spectrum Disorder

TYPE OF RULE: Routine Technical
PROPOSED RULE NUMBER: 2024-P218 (Ch. 3), -P219 (Ch. 5)
BRIEF SUMMARY: 

This proposed rule previously was the subject of a public hearing, held on August 14, 2024, and a public comment period that closed on August 24, 2024. Following and more than fourteen days after the close of public comments, the Department decided to substantively amend the proposed eligibility criteria for developmental disability services set forth in the proposed rule in Secs 2.04-3(A) (for persons with an intellectual disability) and 2.04-3(B) (for persons with Autism Spectrum Disorder). Because of these changes, the Department determined that it should elicit additional public comment on the proposed rulemaking.

As noted prior to the August 14, 2024, public hearing, the purpose of the rulemaking is to clarify the application process for Developmental Services available at OADS that are supported exclusively with state funds. The rule also removes descriptions of internal agency processes regarding client intake and eligibility determination, updates the tests for determining whether an applicant has an intellectual disability (abandoning the harmful terminology of years past) and Autism Spectrum Disorder, and identifies the state-funded Developmental Disability Services available from OADS. 

Specifically, this rulemaking proposes to:

  • repeal 14-197 C.M.R. ch. 3 and its definitions and appeal processes;
  • replace that rule with a new rule to be codified as 10-149 C.M.R. ch. 5, sec. 2;
  • establish an explicit process for applying for and receiving Developmental Disability Services from OADS;
  • clarify that state-funded Developmental Disability Services are distinct from and unaffected by eligibility for MaineCare services, including HCBS Waiver services for adults with an Intellectual Disability or Autism Spectrum Disorder;
  • adopts specific definitions applicable to applications for state-funded Developmental Disability Services;
  • updates the tests for determining whether an applicant has an intellectual disability or Autism Spectrum Disorder, in reference to the current characterizations of those disabilities in statute and in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders;
  • adds requirements for providing notice of the Department’s decisions regarding applications for Developmental Disability Services;
  • withdraws the current appeal process, including Director- and Commissioner-level reviews, and replaces this process with an appeal process that utilizes the administrative hearing process applicable to other state-funded and MaineCare eligibility determinations;
  • adds a timeliness standard for such appeals; and
  • adds a statement of the Department’s obligation to preserve the confidentiality of applications and their review and disposition. 

The proposed rulemaking also would align the structure and numbering of the replacement rule with OADS’ current rulemaking format. 

The regulations of the Office of Aging and Disability Services (OADS) are currently divided into two Chapters: 10-149 (formerly the Office of Elder Services) and 14-197 (formerly the Office of Adults with Cognitive and Physical Disability Services). OADS is completing the process of combining these two former State agencies into one by eliminating use of 14-197 and creating a single comprehensive OADS Policy Manual under 10-149. This rulemaking repeals the current 14-197 Chapter 3 and replaces it with 10-149, Chapter 5, Section 2: Developmental Disability Services.

The proposed rule also contains many formatting corrections, ensures use of gender-neutral language, and includes many clarifying edits.

Finally, the Department does not anticipate that this rule will have any impact on municipalities, counties, or small businesses.

See the DHHS rulemaking webpage for rules and related rulemaking documents.

PUBLIC HEARING: The public hearing will be held at 1:30 pm Eastern Time (US and Canada) on Thursday, January 9, 2025, at the Department of Health and Human Services, 109 Capitol St., Augusta, ME. An online option is available via Zoom at:  https://mainestate.zoom.us/j/82393616812?pwd=WElGQj6g25NGLfRGO4X9xXPN3zjJ78.1

Meeting ID: 823 9361 6812

COMMENT DEADLINE: The Department will accept comments via e-mail and U.S. Mail until 11:59 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) on Sunday, January 19, 2025.

CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE:  Ch. 505, Voter List Maintenance Procedures
TYPE OF RULE: Routine Technical
PROPOSED RULE NUMBER: 2024-P292
BRIEF SUMMARY: This rule was proposed by private citizens in a petition signed by 150 or more registered voters. Under 5 M.R.S. Sec. 8055, the Department of Secretary of State is required to initiate rulemaking proceedings and invite public comment on the proposed rule. The proposed rule would repeal and replace the current rule governing maintenance of voter registration records under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. The proposed rule would impose on municipal registrars new and modified requirements relating to voter list maintenance and the cancellation of ineligible voters. The rule would also create new standards for registrars to determine whether persons seeking to register to vote are qualified voters.
PUBLIC HEARING (if any): The agency expects to hold a public hearing in January 2025, and will publish a notice of the hearing date 17-24 days prior to that date.
COMMENT DEADLINE: January 31, 2025 (extended from December 15, 2024)

CONTACT PERSON FOR SMALL BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT (if different): N/A
FINANCIAL IMPACT ON MUNICIPALITIES OR COUNTIES (if any): This proposed rule would result in municipalities paying the costs of mass confirmation mailings to voters, which must occur at least once every five years. Currently, the Department of Secretary of State conducts these mailings and pays the costs of them. Cost would vary depending on the size of the municipality and the selection criteria used for the mailings. Municipalities would also be responsible for litigation costs arising from any legal challenge under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to their administration of the required list-maintenance program, which is currently administered by the Secretary of State.
STATUTORY AUTHORITY FOR THIS RULE: The petitioners assert that the rule is authorized by 21-A MRSA Sec. 161(2-A). The agency does not necessarily agree as to all portions of the rule.
SUBSTANTIVE STATE OR FEDERAL LAW BEING IMPLEMENTED (if different): 21-A M.R.S. ch. 3; National Voter Registration Act of 1993, 52 U.S.C. Secs. 20501–20511.

TYPE OF RULE: Routine Technical
PROPOSED RULE NUMBER:
BRIEF SUMMARY:
This rulemaking proposes to establish guidelines for the safe installation and use of safe haven baby boxes at qualifying safe haven provider locations before they are put into service. Public Law 2021, c. 466 amended Maine’s Safe Haven law to direct the Department of Health and Human Services to adopt rules to ensure the safe design, installation, and use of each safe haven baby box before it may be put into service by a hospital, law enforcement agency, or fire department.

Safe haven providers with installed baby boxes must have their facilities staffed by a medical services provider 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. Safe haven providers that choose to install baby boxes must have safe haven baby boxes certified for safe use by a professional engineer, architect, or interior designer prior to being put into service, and they must have baby boxes recertified annually. Safe haven providers must register baby boxes with the Office of Child and Family Services and must renew safe haven baby box registrations annually. This rulemaking also establishes guidelines for the required testing of safe haven baby boxes and procedures required of safe haven baby box providers when children are delivered to baby boxes.

PUBLIC HEARING: A public hearing will be held on Thursday, January 2nd, 2025 at 1pm Eastern Standard Time (U.S. and Canada) at the Department of Health and Human Services, 109 Capitol St., Augusta, ME 04330. An online option is available via Zoom at:
