Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Provides General Fund appropriations of $191,741 in 2011-12 and $620,457 in 2012-13 to the Nursing Facilities program in the Department of Health and Human Services for increased costs to the MaineCare program resulting from an assumed increase in nursing facility projects under Part B of the bill, primarily from bed conversions from nursing facilities to residential care facilities, that will not be subject to MaineCare cost neutrality provisions.  Also assumes additional certificate of need program application revenue from the likely increase in the number of project applications. The potential for increased costs that may result from the increases to certificate of need thresholds in Part A of the bill cannot be determined at this time.
