131st MAINE LEGISLATURE
		LD 181		LR 690(01)
	Resolve, Directing the Department of Health and Human Services to Implement Secure Children's Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility Services
	Preliminary Fiscal Impact Statement for Original Bill
	Sponsor: Sen. Black of Franklin
	Committee: Health and Human Services
	Fiscal Note Required: Yes
Preliminary Fiscal Impact Statement
Funding already in baseline
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	The services being required by this bill are already approved services with a funding source within MaineCare. There was an initiative in PL 2021 c.635 to increase the rate for these services which is being carried forward in the baseline for 2024-25. Since there is currently funding for these services in the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), no new funding is required if this bill moves forward. The total level of funding with DHHS may not be enough to cover this service after the program redesign and rate setting functions have been completed. If that is the case, DHHS will need to submit an additional initiative in a supplemental budget to acquire additional funding.
