Potential future biennium cost increase - General Fund 
Correctional and Judicial Impact Statements 
This legislation allows blended sentencing for certain juveniles convicted as adults and sentenced to imprisonment if 
the juvenile has not attained 16 years of age at the time of sentencing. The fiscal impact of allowing sentencing 
placement to both juvenile (until age 18) and adult correctional facilities will depend on how often this type of 
sentence occurs and on what the sentence might have been had the current statutes continued unchanged. It appears 
that the most likely use of the blended sentence would be to add time in an adult facility beyond what might have been 
a sentence served only in a juvenile facility. An additional cost to the State would be incurred for the additional total 
time served. However, in the last 5 years there were 60 bind-overs and none of them involved a person under 16 years 
of age. Therefore, it is not expected that the number of future incarcerations would be significant.

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: 
Sec. 1. 32 MRSA §1202, sub-§2-A is enacted to read: 
2-A. Helper license; educational requirements. The requirements for a helper
