Amend the amendment by relettering or renumbering any nonconsecutive Part letter 
or section number to read consecutively. 
SUMMARY 
This amendment removes that part of the amendment that requires the Department of 
Health and Human Services to reduce by 5% the reimbursement rates under the 
MaineCare program for licensed clinical professional counselors and marriage and family 
therapists. Instead, this amendment creates an income tax surcharge of 2% on the Maine 
income tax imposed on persons filing as single individuals, heads of households and 
married persons filing separate returns who have Maine adjusted gross income of 
$200,000 or more and on married persons filing jointly and surviving spouses who have 
Maine adjusted gross income of $250,000 or more. 
The surcharge is retroactive to 
January 1, 2012. A person with a tax liability for 2012 for the surcharge must file a 
return with the amount due no later than June 15,2013.

This amendment results in net General Fund savings of $3,054,959 in fiscal year 2012-13. It restores a number of 
reductions made in Part A related to Department of Health and Human Services programs. The additional costs 
associated with the restorations is offset by additional Individual Income Tax revenue generated by a 2% surcharge on 
income taxes imposed on state adjusted gross income over $200,000 for persons filing as single, head of household or 
married persons filing separately and over $250,000 for married persons filing jointly.
