This amendment strikes and replaces the bill. It adds a mandate preamble and provides that all of the requirements proposed in the bill for suicide prevention awareness education and suicide prevention and intervention training for school personnel are included in the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 20-A, section 4502. The amendment also provides that rules adopted by the Department of Education on standards for suicide awareness education and suicide prevention and intervention training for school personnel are routine technical rules, but that, beginning July 1, 2014, any subsequent changes to rules are major substantive rules.
