health care facility's officials or health care practitioner in good faith believes 
constitutes evidence of criminal conduct that occurred on the premises of the health 
care facility or health care practitioner; and when, in a health care practitioner's 
judgment, disclosure is necessary to: 
(1) Avert a serious threat to the health or safety of others, if the conditions, as 
applicable, described in 45 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 164.512(j) 
(2010) are met; or 
(2) Prevent or respond to imminent and serious harm to the individual and 
disclosure is to a health care practitioner for diagnosis or treatment; 
SUMMARY 
Current law permits health care practitioners or facilities to provide private health 
care information to law enforcement officials and other governmental entities in order to 
protect public health and welfare when reporting is authorized by law and when reporting 
a suspected crime against them or a crime they believe occurred on their premises. 
Federal regulations permit disclosure of private health care information when, in the 
health care practitioner's judgment, disclosure is necessary to avert a serious threat to the 
health or safety of others under conditions prescribed by the regulations. This bill makes 
Maine law consistent with federal regulations and preserves a practioner's ability to report 
private health care information to law enforcement officials and other governmental 
entities in order to protect public health and welfare when reporting is authorized by law 
while expanding permitted disclosure in other cases when necessary to avert a threat to 
the health or safety of others.

DAREK M. GRANT 
Secretary of the Senate 
Presented by Senator CLEVELAND of Androscoggin. 
Cosponsored by Representative HOBBINS of Saco. 
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: 
Sec. 1.  35-A MRSA §3213, as amended by PL 1997, c. 691, §8, is repealed. 
Sec. 2.  35-A MRSA §3216, as amended by PL 1999, c. 398, Pt. M, §§1 and 2 and

remaining balance in the Public Utilities Commission Consumer Education Fund, 
established in the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 35-A, former section 3213, subsection 3, 
to the General Fund. 
SUMMARY 
This bill repeals provisions of the electric industry restructuring laws that: 
1.  Require electric utilities to issue unbundled bills to consumers that state the cost of 
the electricity separately from the cost of the transmission and distribution of that 
electricity; 
2. Establish a consumer education program, and a funding mechanism for that 
program, regarding the implementation of retail competition in the State's retail electricity 
markets and its impact on consumers.  The program was time limited and has concluded.   
The Public Utilities Commission is directed to transfer any remaining balance in the 
Public Utilities Commission Consumer Education Fund to the General Fund; and 
3.  Require each investor-owned utility to prepare a plan for providing transition 
services and benefits for employees who were employed by the utility on January 1, 1998 
and are laid off due to retail competition, which is defined as, absent other just cause, a 
layoff that occurs after March 1, 2000 and before December 31, 2001.  This provision is 
no longer necessary since that date has been reached.

An Act To Repeal a Specialized Form of the Generic Crime of Theft 
by Unauthorized Taking or Transfer 
Reported by Representative DION of Portland for the Criminal Law Advisory Commission 
pursuant to the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 17-A, section 1354, subsection 2. 
Reference to the Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety suggested and ordered 
printed pursuant to Joint Rule 218.

Clerk 
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: 
Sec. 1.  8 MRSA §1055, as enacted by PL 2011, c. 585, §13, is repealed. 
Sec. 2.  17-A MRSA §353-A, as enacted by PL 2011, c. 585, §14, is repealed. 
SUMMARY 
This bill, submitted by the Criminal Law Advisory Commission, repeals the crime of 
theft by unauthorized taking or transfer at a casino or slot machine facility since, except 
for the additional requirement that the theft occur at or from a casino or slot machine 
facility, the crime is already prohibited by the generic umbrella crime of theft by 
unauthorized taking or transfer.  This bill also repeals a cross-reference to the crime in the 
laws regarding slot machines.
