SUMMARY

This bill represents the Joint Standing Committee on Appropriations and Financial Affairs' unanimous recommendations after reviewing the recommendations of the Streamline and Prioritize Core Government Services Task Force authorized in Public Law 2011, chapter 380, Part KKK. Parts A to L of this bill reflect the task force recommendations as amended by the Joint Standing Committee on Appropriations and Financial Affairs. This bill also includes adjustments to appropriations and allocations and other necessary changes to the laws to address a shortfall within the MaineCare program in the Department of Health and Human Services in fiscal year 2011-12. The unanimous recommendations of the Joint Standing Committee on Appropriations and Financial Affairs to address the fiscal year 2011-12 shortfall are contained in Part M to Part II. The following is a summary of each of the Parts of the bill.

This Part adjusts appropriations and allocations to implement the recommendations of the Streamline and Prioritize Core Government Services Task Force as modified by the Joint Standing Committee on Appropriations and Financial Affairs.

This Part recognizes savings to departments and agencies in the cost of technology as a result of initiatives enacted in Public Law 2011, chapter 380 that reduced personnel costs for the Office of Information Technology. It also recognizes savings from not renewing the Microsoft Enterprise agreement when it expires on May 1, 2012, from changing the manner in which agencies are charged for the use of the financial and personnel data warehouses and from the elimination of positions authorized in Public Law 2011, chapter 380, Part QQQ. This Part authorizes the State Budget Officer to transfer savings by financial order upon approval of the Governor.

This Part amends the language for general purpose aid for local schools to reduce the targets for the state share percentage of the statewide adjusted total cost of components of essential programs and services and the total cost of funding public education for fiscal year 2011-12. The targets are being reduced to reflect the reduced appropriation for the state agency client budget.

This Part repeals provisions regarding the adjustment for minimum teacher salary that require the Department of Education to increase the state share of the total allocation to a qualifying school administrative unit in the current year by an amount that represents the amount from the state General Fund necessary to achieve the minimum starting salary of $30,000 for certified teachers.

This Part changes the date the judicial branch is required to submit a plan along with an estimate of the cost to implement electronic filing in civil docket cases to the Joint Standing Committee on Appropriations and Financial Affairs and the Joint Standing Committee on Judiciary to July 1, 2012.

This Part amends the provision that allows certain children to continue to receive services through the Child Development Services System for an additional year rather than be enrolled in kindergarten by requiring a determination by the child's individualized education program team that it is in the best interest of the child to delay enrollment for one year.

This Part authorizes the State Controller and the Treasurer of State to adopt rules that require payments to certain vendors to be made by direct deposit.

This Part eliminates the requirement that a notice regarding unclaimed property must be published in a newspaper of general circulation in this State.

This Part limits, beginning January 1, 2013, MaineCare reimbursement for buprenorphine and naloxone combination drugs for the treatment of addiction to opioids to 24 months; the 24-month period includes those months occurring prior to January 1, 2013. The 24-month limit may be extended with prior approval by the Department of Health and Human Services. This Part requires the MaineCare drug utilization review committee to develop a process and criteria for prior authorization beyond 24 months. It requires the department to track the use of these MaineCare services and document the health outcomes of MaineCare members subject to the limitations. This Part requires reports on the prior authorization process and criteria and the limitations and health outcomes of persons subject to the limitations to the Joint Standing Committee on Appropriations and Financial Affairs and the Joint Standing Committee on Health and Human Services.

This Part requires an annual review of all schedule II drug prescriptions written by a physician assistant by a supervising physician.

This Part, in order to encourage health care professionals to use the data in the Controlled Substances Prescription Monitoring Program when prescribing controlled substances, requires all prescribers in a class of prescriber, such as physicians, dentists or physician assistants, to register in the program if, on January 1, 2014, less than 90% of all prescribers in that class have registered in the program.

This Part changes the stated frequency of the $2 fee charged by the Department of Health and Human Services for collection of child support payments to specify that the fee is charged on a per pay period basis, which is more commonly every 2 weeks than every week.

This Part clarifies that the fee is directly associated with the collection of the child support payments and may be charged only for the period when the collection actually occurs.

This Part specifies that the annual service fee imposed by the State on an individual for whom the State is collecting child support is $25.

This Part specifies that the nonfederal shares of the $2 fee and the $25 annual service fee accrue to the General Fund.

This Part makes adjustments to appropriations and allocations necessary to provide additional funding for projected fiscal year 2011-12 MaineCare spending needs.

This Part implements a statewide All Other deappropriation of executive branch departments and agencies approximately equal to 1% of their All Other appropriations. This Part also lists the executive branch programs and accounts that are excluded from the 1% calculation and transfer provisions.

This Part limits MaineCare reimbursement for opioids to 15 consecutive days, with prior authorization for 2 extension periods of 15 days. It also provides for exceptions to the limitation, which include members who are in treatment for HIV, AIDS or cancer, members who are hospice patients and members who are receiving inpatient treatment in a hospital. It also provides that, for a member who on April 1, 2012 has been receiving opioids for the treatment of chronic pain for one year or longer continuously, the limitation on maximum MaineCare reimbursement takes effect September 1, 2012.

This Part transfers $300,000 of revenue from the real estate transfer tax that would otherwise be deposited in the Housing Opportunities for Maine Fund in fiscal year 2012-13 to provide MaineCare seed for targeted case management services for individuals who are homeless. It also specifies that it is the intent of the Legislature that funding provided by the Maine State Housing Authority from the Housing Opportunities for Maine Fund for individuals who are homeless and those most vulnerable to suffering homelessness will not be reduced as a result of this Part.

This Part requires the Commissioner of Administrative and Financial Services to identify and transfer $2,000,000 in available balances in Other Special Revenue Funds accounts to the General Fund in fiscal year 2011-12. The commissioner is required to work with the other executive branch departments and agencies to determine the accounts from which the balances will be transferred and report to the Joint Standing Committee on Appropriations and Financial Affairs by March 15, 2012.

This Part transfers $3,000,000 from available balances in Other Special Revenue Funds accounts within the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation to the General Fund at the close of fiscal year 2011-12.

This Part lapses to the General Fund carrying balances from the Legislature and the Law and Legislative Reference Library totaling $1,404,000 in fiscal year 2011-12. The balances that will lapse to the General Fund represent $1,083,000 of fiscal year 2010-11 unexpended funds that carried forward and $321,000 of fiscal year 2011-12 savings based on experience to date.

This Part establishes an adult developmental services working group to develop plans to address the need for efficiencies and savings in the delivery of adult developmental services. The Commissioner of Health and Human Services is required to submit the working group's final recommendations to the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over appropriations and financial affairs and to the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over health and human services matters on July 1, 2013 and consider the recommendations when developing the 2014-2015 biennial budget submission.

This Part lowers the reimbursement rate for licensed critical access hospitals from 109% to 105% of MaineCare allowable costs beginning April 1, 2012 and repeals reimbursement provisions that conflict with the reduction. This Part requires the Department of Health and Human Services to adopt routine technical rules to implement the rate reduction.

This Part transfers $10,000,000 in fiscal year 2011-12 from the Dirigo Health Fund to the Medical Care - Payments to Providers program for the MaineCare seed for the childless adult waiver, and transfers $472,800 in fiscal year 2011-12 and $2,556,881 in fiscal year 2012-13 from the Dirigo Health Fund to the Medical Care - Payments to Providers program for the MaineCare seed for Cub Care children in families with incomes greater than or equal to 150% but less than 200% of the nonfarm income official poverty line.

This Part ends as of September 30, 2012 the current Dirigo Health transfer of funds to the Medical Care - Payments to Providers, Other Special Revenue Funds account in the Department of Health and Human Services for the purpose of providing a state match for federal Medicaid services for parents and caretakers of children from 133% to 200% of the nonfarm income official poverty line. It also adds a requirement that Dirigo Health transfer $7,210,000 in fiscal year 2012-13 to the Medical Care - Payments to Providers, Other Special Revenue Funds account in the Department of Health and Human Services for the purpose of providing a state match for federal Medicaid services.

This Part also extends the current 1.87% access payment rate to support the cost of Dirigo Health through June 30, 2013. The payment rate was scheduled to decrease to 1.64% on July 1, 2012. The scheduled decrease to 1.14% on July 1, 2013 and the elimination of the access payment effective January 1, 2014 are unchanged.

This Part reduces eligibility for Medicaid services for a parent or caretaker relative of an eligible child from a maximum income of 200% of the nonfarm income official poverty line to a maximum income of 133% of the nonfarm income official poverty line effective October 1, 2012.

This Part extends the current freeze on new enrollment in the MaineCare childless adult waiver program through June 30, 2013 in order to reduce the limit on total annual spending for the waiver to $40,000,000. It also requires quarterly reports on enrollment and spending and requires the Commissioner of Health and Human Services to submit a plan to the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over appropriations and financial affairs and the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over health and human services matters that achieves the necessary savings through a waiver program benefit redesign as the next course of action if the enrollment freeze is insufficient to maintain spending within the $40,000,000.

This Part requires the Department of Health and Human Services to amend the rules on MaineCare benefits to require substitution for a brand-name drug of a generic and therapeutically equivalent drug unless the prescriber has indicated that only the brand-name drug may be dispensed and that the brand-name drug is medically necessary and the department has previously authorized dispensing the brand-name drug. It also specifies certain exemptions from the mandatory substitution requirements.

This Part requires a review of MaineCare reimbursement rates for inpatient substance abuse treatment and inpatient psychiatric treatment provided in community hospitals, a report on that review by July 1, 2012 and amended rules to achieve any savings from equalization of reimbursement rates.

This Part lowers the amount of racino slot machine revenue that accrues to the Fund for a Healthy Maine in fiscal year 2012-13 from $4,500,000 to $2,500,000. This will reduce revenue to the Fund for a Healthy Maine by $2,000,000 and increase the General Fund share of this revenue by the same amount.

This Part gives the Department of Health and Human Services the authority to adopt emergency rules to implement any provisions of the bill over which the department has specific authority that has not been addressed by some other part of the bill.

This Part repeals language requiring the State to use payroll deductions to collect health insurance assessments from Legislators because the mechanism of payroll deduction for Legislators is unavailable during the portion of the year in which the Legislature is not convened in session. This alters only the method of collecting the health insurance assessment; the assessment requirement itself remains unchanged.
