SUMMARY 
This bill represents the Joint Standing Committee on Appropriations and Financial 
Affairs' unanimous recommendations after reviewing the recommendations of the 
Streamline and Prioritize Core Government Services Task Force authorized in Public 
Law 2011, chapter 380, Part KKK.  Parts A to L of this bill reflect the task force 
recommendations as amended by the Joint Standing Committee on Appropriations and 
Financial Affairs.  This bill also includes adjustments to appropriations and allocations 
and other necessary changes to the laws to address a shortfall within the MaineCare 
program in the Department of Health and Human Services in fiscal year 2011-12.  The 
unanimous recommendations of the Joint Standing Committee on Appropriations and 
Financial Affairs to address the fiscal year 2011-12 shortfall are contained in Part M to 
Part II.  The following is a summary of each of the Parts of the bill. 
PART A 
This Part adjusts appropriations and allocations to implement the recommendations 
of the Streamline and Prioritize Core Government Services Task Force as modified by the 
Joint Standing Committee on Appropriations and Financial Affairs. 
PART B 
This Part recognizes savings to departments and agencies in the cost of technology as 
a result of initiatives enacted in Public Law 2011, chapter 380 that reduced personnel 
costs for the Office of Information Technology.  It also recognizes savings from not 
renewing the Microsoft Enterprise agreement when it expires on May 1, 2012, from 
changing the manner in which agencies are charged for the use of the financial and 
personnel data warehouses and from the elimination of positions authorized in Public 
Law 2011, chapter 380, Part QQQ.  This Part authorizes the State Budget Officer to 
transfer savings by financial order upon approval of the Governor. 
PART C 
This Part amends the language for general purpose aid for local schools to reduce the 
targets for the state share percentage of the statewide adjusted total cost of components of 
essential programs and services and the total cost of funding public education for fiscal 
year 2011-12.  The targets are being reduced to reflect the reduced appropriation for the 
state agency client budget. 
PART D 
This Part repeals provisions regarding the adjustment for minimum teacher salary that 
require the Department of Education to increase the state share of the total allocation to a 
qualifying school administrative unit in the current year by an amount that represents the 
amount from the state General Fund necessary to achieve the minimum starting salary of 
$30,000 for certified teachers. 
PART E 
This Part changes the date the judicial branch is required to submit a plan along with 
an estimate of the cost to implement electronic filing in civil docket cases to the Joint 
Standing Committee on Appropriations and Financial Affairs and the Joint Standing 
Committee on Judiciary to July 1, 2012. 
PART F 
This Part amends the provision that allows certain children to continue to receive 
services through the Child Development Services System for an additional year rather 
than be enrolled in kindergarten by requiring a determination by the child's individualized 
education program team that it is in the best interest of the child to delay enrollment for 
one year. 
PART G 
This Part authorizes the State Controller and the Treasurer of State to adopt rules that 
require payments to certain vendors to be made by direct deposit. 
PART H 
This Part eliminates the requirement that a notice regarding unclaimed property must 
be published in a newspaper of general circulation in this State. 
PART I 
This Part limits, beginning January 1, 2013, MaineCare reimbursement for 
buprenorphine and naloxone combination drugs for the treatment of addiction to opioids 
to 24 months; the 24-month period includes those months occurring prior to January 1, 
2013.  The 24-month limit may be extended with prior approval by the Department of 
Health and Human Services.  This Part requires the MaineCare drug utilization review 
committee to develop a process and criteria for prior authorization beyond 24 months.  It 
requires the department to track the use of these MaineCare services and document the 
health outcomes of MaineCare members subject to the limitations.  This Part requires 
reports on the prior authorization process and criteria and the limitations and health 
outcomes of persons subject to the limitations to the Joint Standing Committee on 
Appropriations and Financial Affairs and the Joint Standing Committee on Health and 
Human Services. 
PART J 
This Part requires an annual review of all schedule II drug prescriptions written by a 
physician assistant by a supervising physician. 
PART K 
This Part, in order to encourage health care professionals to use the data in the 
Controlled Substances Prescription Monitoring Program when prescribing controlled 
substances, requires all prescribers in a class of prescriber, such as physicians, dentists or 
physician assistants, to register in the program if, on January 1, 2014, less than 90% of all 
prescribers in that class have registered in the program. 
PART L 
This Part changes the stated frequency of the $2 fee charged by the Department of 
Health and Human Services for collection of child support payments to specify that the 
fee is charged on a per pay period basis, which is more commonly every 2 weeks than 
every week. 
This Part clarifies that the fee is directly associated with the collection of the child 
support payments and may be charged only for the period when the collection actually 
occurs. 
This Part specifies that the annual service fee imposed by the State on an individual 
for whom the State is collecting child support is $25. 
This Part specifies that the nonfederal shares of the $2 fee and the $25 annual service 
fee accrue to the General Fund. 
PART M

the 1% calculation and transfer provisions. 
PART O 
This Part limits MaineCare reimbursement for opioids to 15 consecutive days, with 
prior authorization for 2 extension periods of 15 days.  It also provides for exceptions to

otherwise be deposited in the Housing Opportunities for Maine Fund in fiscal year 
2012-13 to provide MaineCare seed for targeted case management services for

Department of Health and Human Services for the purpose of providing a state match for 
federal Medicaid services for parents and caretakers of children from 133% to 200% of

adult waiver program through June 30, 2013 in order to reduce the limit on total annual 
spending for the waiver to $40,000,000.  It also requires quarterly reports on enrollment 
and spending and requires the Commissioner of Health and Human Services to submit a 
plan to the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over 
appropriations and financial affairs and the joint standing committee of the Legislature

reduce revenue to the Fund for a Healthy Maine by $2,000,000 and increase the General 
Fund share of this revenue by the same amount.

emergency rules to implement any provisions of the bill over which the department has 
specific authority that has not been addressed by some other part of the bill. 
PART GG 
This Part repeals language requiring the State to use payroll deductions to collect 
health insurance assessments from Legislators because the mechanism of payroll

Legislature is not convened in session. This alters only the method of collecting the 
health insurance assessment; the assessment requirement itself remains unchanged. 
PART HH 
This Part lapses $5,000,000 from the Bureau of Medical Services account within the
