extraordinary circumstances.
Sec. 2.  15 MRSA §2128-B, sub-§4 is enacted to read:

Presented by Senator BRAKEY of Androscoggin.

Senator: MOORE of Washington.
Sec. 1. Personal needs allowance for residents of nursing facilities and 
residential care facilities. Resolved: That, by July 1, 2024, the Department of Health 
and Human Services shall amend its rules in Chapter 101: MaineCare Benefits Manual, 
Chapter III, Section 67, Principles of Reimbursement for Nursing Facilities, and Chapter 
III, Section 97, Private Non-Medical Institution Services, to apply an annual cost-of-living 
increase to the personal needs allowance for persons residing in nursing facilities and 
residential care facilities under the rules for the MaineCare program. The increase in the 
cost of living must be measured by the percentage increase, if any, as of August of the 
previous year over the level as of August of the year preceding that year in the Consumer 
Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, CPI-W, for the Northeast 
Region, or its successor index, as published by the United States Department of Labor, 
Bureau of Labor Statistics or its successor agency, with the amount of the personal needs 
allowance rounded to the nearest multiple of 5¢.
SUMMARY
This resolve requires the Department of Health and Human Services, by July 1, 2024, 
to amend its MaineCare rules to apply an annual cost-of-living increase to the personal 
needs allowance for MaineCare members residing in nursing facilities and residential care 
facilities. The cost-of-living increase applies the metrics used by the Consumer Price Index 
for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, CPI-W, for the Northeast Region.

A person may not take more than 4 quarts of smelts for personal use in any one day.

A.  A person who holds a valid Maine fishing license may take smelts for recreational
