Amend the bill by relettering or renumbering any nonconsecutive Part letter or section number to read consecutively.

summary

This amendment retains those portions of the bill that give the community service networks the responsibility of providing consolidated mental health crisis services for children and adults, beginning March 1, 2009, through a memorandum of understanding among providers of mental health services in the network that includes provisions to ensure coordination, eliminate duplication and provide a minimum level of crisis services established by the Department of Health and Human Services and provides funding for hospital-based physicians in order to protect access to health care. Rather than updating the base year for the hospital tax, this amendment reduces funding by managing enrollment in the childless adult waiver program and maximizing the use of the federal allocation in the qualified individual program and other efficiencies in the MaineCare program.
