| | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: |
|
| | | Sec. 1. 22 MRSA §254, sub-§10, as enacted by PL 1999, c. 401, Pt. KKK, | | §1 and affected by §10 and c. 531, Pt. F, §2, is amended to read: |
|
| | | 10. Eligible individuals. To | | requirements of this section and Title 36, section 6162-B, to be | | eligible for the program, an individual must be: |
|
| | A. At least 62 years of age; or |
|
| | | B. Nineteen years of age or older and determined to be | | disabled by the standards of the federal social security | program. |
|
| | | C.__A member of a household in which another household | | member is eligible for the program. |
|
| | | Prior to changes to the elderly low-cost drug program enacted | | in Public Law 1999, chapter 401, Part KKK, eligibility for the | | program extended to all members of a household if any household | | member was determined to be eligible. The changes enacted in | | Public Law 1999, chapter 401, Part KKK, inadvertently caused some | | household members to lose eligibility. This amendment restores | | household eligibility as it applied before the 1999 changes. |
