No. 1426 
S.P. 440 
In Senate, April 7, 2011 
An Act Concerning Notification to an Employer of Misrepresented 
Medical Information under the Maine Human Rights Act 
Reference to the Committee on Labor, Commerce, Research and Economic Development 
suggested and ordered printed. 
JOSEPH G. CARLETON, JR. 
Secretary of the Senate 
Presented by Senator GOODALL of Sagadahoc. 
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: 
Sec. 1.  5 MRSA §4572, sub-§2, ¶C, as enacted by PL 1995, c. 393, §13, is 
amended to read: 
C.  A covered entity may require a medical examination after an offer of employment 
has been made to a job applicant and prior to the commencement of the employment 
duties of the applicant and may condition an offer of employment on the results of the 
examination, if: 
(1)  All entering employees are subjected to the same examination regardless of 
disability; 
(2)  Information obtained regarding the medical condition or history of the 
applicant is collected and maintained on separate forms and in separate medical 
files and is treated as a confidential medical record, except that: 
(a)  Supervisors and managers may be informed regarding necessary 
restrictions on the work or duties of the employee and necessary 
accommodations; 
(b)  First aid and safety personnel may be informed, when appropriate, if the 
disability might require emergency treatment; and 
(c)  Government officials investigating compliance with this Act are provided 
relevant information on request; and 
(d)  Supervisors, managers and members of an employer's management team 
may be informed regarding any misrepresentation, untruthful statement or 
omission of information by the applicant or employee on any medical form, 
record or file; and 
(3)  The results of the examination are used only in accordance with this Act. 
SUMMARY 
Under current law, information obtained through a so-called "post-offer, 
preemployment physical" may be shared with supervisors and managers only for 
purposes of informing supervisors and managers about work restrictions or 
accommodations necessary for that employee.  This bill authorizes such disclosure for the 
additional purpose of informing supervisors, managers and members of an employer's 
management team of any misrepresentation, untruthful statement or omission of 
information by the applicant or employee on any medical form, record or file.

An Act To Amend Seasonal Licenses for the Operation of Beano or 
Bingo Games 
Reference to the Committee on Veterans and Legal Affairs suggested and ordered printed. 
JOSEPH G. CARLETON, JR. 
Secretary of the Senate 
Presented by Senator GOODALL of Sagadahoc. 
Cosponsored by Representative OLSEN of Phippsburg. 
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: 
Sec. 1.  17 MRSA §315, as enacted by PL 1975, c. 307, §2, is repealed and the 
following enacted in its place: 
§315.  Seasonal licenses 
Notwithstanding sections 314 and 319, the Chief of the State Police may issue 
seasonal licenses to operate beano or bingo games, including those designed to attract 
players under 16 years of age, in bona fide resort hotels as long as the following 
conditions are met. 
1.  Operated on-site.  The games are operated and conducted in those resort hotels 
by the management without profit and solely for the entertainment of registered guests or 
patrons of that resort hotel. 
2.  Maximum charge.  The charge, if any, to a guest or patron for participation in 
those games is limited to a maximum of $2 in any 24-hour period. 
3.  Minors.  If the games are designed to attract players under 16 years of age, then 
the award is limited to a nonmonetary prize valued at less than $10, which may be 
awarded to a single player no more than once every 24 hours.  Notwithstanding section 
319, a person under 16 years of age may be admitted to the playing area without an adult 
and may participate in the game.  For purposes of this subsection, "nonmonetary prize" 
includes a credit for food served on the premises of the resort hotel. 
The fee for a license issued pursuant to this section is $10 and must be paid to the 
Treasurer of State to be credited to the General Fund.  A hotel or liquor license of a resort 
hotel licensee may not be withheld because of the conducting by the resort hotel of the 
game of beano or bingo. 
Nothing in this section permits the operation or conduct of beano or bingo games 
without a license. 
SUMMARY 
This bill amends the law regarding seasonal licenses to operate beano or bingo games 
without profit, which currently may be issued to resort hotels for their registered guests 
on the premises of the resort.  Current law prohibits minors under 16 years of age from 
playing beano or bingo games or being in a place where the games are being operated 
without an adult. 
The bill allows minors under 16 years of age, without being accompanied by an adult, 
to participate in bingo or beano games operated at the resort hotel as long as the prize is a 
nonmonetary prize, which may include a credit for food served on the premises of the 
resort, valued at no more than $10.

H.  Another state pursuant to subsection 4-A. 
Sec. 4.  22 MRSA §7250, sub-§4-A is enacted to read: 
4-A.  Information sharing with other states.  The office may provide prescription 
monitoring information to and receive prescription monitoring information from another 
state that has prescription monitoring information provisions consistent with this chapter 
and has entered into a prescription monitoring information sharing agreement with the 
office.  The office may enter into a prescription monitoring information sharing 
agreement with another state to establish the terms and conditions of prescription 
monitoring information sharing and interoperability of information systems and to carry 
out the purposes of this subsection.  For purpose of this subsection, "another state" means 
any state other than Maine and any territory or possession of the United States, but does 
not include a foreign country. 
SUMMARY 
This bill allows the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Substance 
Abuse to share prescription monitoring information with another state if the state has 
provisions consistent with prescription monitoring information provisions in Maine law

to H.P. 1055, L.D. 1434, Bill, "An Act To 
Streamline the Waste Motor Oil Disposal Site Remediation Program"

premiums" to "redemption premiums." The amendment also clarifies that the Finance 
Authority of Maine is not required to disburse the balance in the Waste Oil Clean-up 
Fund within 30 days of the effective date of the Act.

Changes to the premiums imposed on categories of waste motor oil are not expected to significantly impact the 
amount of revenue collected for the Waste Motor Oil Revenue Fund administered by the Finance Authority of Maine 
(FAME). Directing FAME to disburse funds in the Waste Motor Oil Revenue Fund in excess of $600,000 will mean 
entities waiting for reimbursement will get paid earlier. The Department of Environmental Protection, as the fourth 
obligation in priority for disbursement will receive up to $1 million per year for the Uncontrolled Sites Fund for 
response costs incurred at four principal cleanup sites in the state. As the third obligation, the bill reimburses the 
Department of Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management $41,778 on a one-time basis for Maine National Guard 
response costs at the waste motor oil disposal site in Plymouth. Certain other outside entities will receive payments on 
amounts owed sooner under the bill than would otherwise have been possible. 
Because this legislation makes provisions for the additional costs to FAME associated with implementing certain 
requirements of the bill, there is no net fiscal impact to FAME.

Committee Amendment CA_A_H485 (House)

COMMITTEE AMENDMENT "A" to H.P. lO70, L.D. 1439, Bill, "An Act 
Regarding Permits To Cany Concealed Firearms" 
Amend the bill in section 7 in §2003 by striking out all of subsection 12 (page 8, lines 
to 37 in L.D.) and inserting the following: 
'12. Permit for a resident of 5 or more years to be issued or denied within 30 
days; permit for a nonresident and resident of less than 5 years to be issued or 
denied within 60 days. The issuing authority, as defined in this chapter, shall issue or 
deny, and reply in writing as to the reason for any denial, within 30 days of the 
application date in the case of a resident of 5 or more years and within 60 days of the 
application date in the case of a nonresident or in the case of a resident of less than 5 
years. If the issuing authority does not issue or deny a request for a permit renewal 
within the time limits specified in this subsection, the validity of the expired permit is 
extended until the issuing authority issues or denies the renewal.' 
SUMMARY 
This amendment strikes from the bill language that would have lengthened the 
amount of time issuing authorities have to process applications for concealed handgun 
permits.

transportation costs due to the provisions of subsection 1, the board shall adjust the 
county's budget under Title 30-A, section 710, subsection 4 to reimburse start-up and 
ongoing court expenses for carrying out subsection 1 for the previous 12 months for all 
courts to which the county would have transported a prisoner if videoconferencing had

in the courtroom.  This bill also requires the Department of Corrections, State Board of

COMMITTEE AMENDMENT "fj" to H.P. 1071, L.D. 1456, Bill, "An Act 
Regarding the Right of Native Americans To Be Issued Hunting, Trapping and Fishing 
Licenses" 
Amend the bill by inserting after the title and before the enacting clause the 
following: 
'Emergency preamble. Whereas, acts and resolves of the Legislature do not 
become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as emergencies; and 
Whereas, the provisions of this Act must take effect immediately to ensure that the 
Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife has sufficient time to implement the changes 
in this Act to the complimentary licenses issued to Maine's federally recognized Indian 
tribes before the start of this year's hunting season; and 
Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create an emergency within 
the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and require the following legislation as
