Whereas, certain obligations and expenses incident to the

tax 
year

to make an equitable determination of the Maine tax associated 
with the media production company's certified media production.

Taxpayers claiming this credit must attach a sworn 
statement from a forester licensed pursuant to Title 
32, 
chapter 
that the 
timberlands 
for 
which the 
credit is claimed have been managed sustainably. 
For 
the purposes of this subparagraph, "sustainably" means 
that the timberlands for which the credit is claimed 
have been managed to protect soil productivity and to 
maintain 
or 
improve 
stand 
productivity 
and 
timber 
quality; known occurrences of threatened or endangered 
species 
and 
rare

habitat; and water quality, wetlands and riparian zones. 
Upon request of the State Tax Assessor, the Director of 
the 
Bureau 
of 
Forestry 
within 
the 
Department 
of 
Conservation 
may 
provide 
assistance 
in 
determining 
whether timberlands for which the credit is claimed 
have 
been 
managed 
sustainably. 
When 
assistance 
is 
requested under this subparagraph, the director or the 
director's 
designee 
may 
enter 
and 
examine 
the 
timberlands for the purpose of determining whether the 
timberlands have been managed sustainably. 
In the case of timberlands 
owned 
by an entity that is 
treated as a pass-through entity for income tax purposes, 
the land must be treated as eligible timberland if ownership 
and use of the land by the pass-through entity satisfies the 
requirements 
of 
this 
paragraph. 
If 
the 
owner 
of 
the 
eligible timberlands is an S corporation, the taxpayer must 
subtract the owner's pro rata share of the gain. 
If the 
owner 
of 
the 
timberlands 
is 
a

a result of the cost-sharing mechanism established pursuant to 
Title 20-A, section 15688. 
The amendment modifies the adjustment 
in fiscal year 2006-07 to recognize 35% of the special education

special education costs that were recognized by the adjustment

PART BBBB 
Part BBBB provides authority for the progressive treatment 
program to increase outpatient treatment and decrease reliance on 
hospitalization. 
The progressive treatment program will serve up 
to 50 persons with severe mental illness who were involuntarily 
hospitalized, 25 from Riverview Psychiatric Center and 25 from 
the 
Dorothea 
Dix 
Psychiatric Center. 
Under 
the progressive 
treatment program persons 
who 
are involuntarily committed to 
Riverview Psychiatric Center and Dorothea Dix Psychiatric Center 
could be ordered by a judge to participate in the program, which 
would provide treatment 
and care through assertive 
community 
treatment teams for up to 6 months. 
Successful participation in 
the 
progressive 
treatment 
program results in termination of 
progressive treatment services. 
Failure to fully participate and 
follow 
the 
individualized treatment 
program that results in 
deterioration 
of 
the 
person's 
mental 
health 
so 
that 
hospi talization is in the person's best interest and the person 
poses 
a 
likelihood of serious harm results in the treatment 
team's applying for the person to be hospitalized under the 
current emergency admission procedure. 
If the person is admitted 
on an emergency basis, 
and if the superintendent of a state 
mental health institute determines that continued hospitalization 
is required, 
within 
days 
of admission 
an application for 
commitment 
must 
be 
filed with 
the 
court 
under 
the 
current 
involuntary commitment law. 
The amendment contains a repeal date 
for the progressive treatment program of July 1, 2010. 
It requires the Department of Health and Human Services to 
prepare education and training materials regarding mental health 
treatment 
options, 
to 
undertake 
rulemaking 
regarding 
the 
progressive treatment program and to report periodically on the 
operation of the program to the joint standing committee of the 
Legislature having jurisdiction over health and human services 
matters.
