Work Group for LDs 400, 1059, 1078 and 1364
Long-term Home and Community-based Services for Adults

The 123rd Maine Legislature enacted two bills and carried over two regarding long-term home and community-based services for adults. These four bills require that many inter-related tasks be completed and reported to the 124th Maine Legislature by the beginning of 2010.

DHHS has developed a multi-part work plan based on the amount of work to be completed by January and on recommendations by a number of the participants who gathered on August 11, 2009 to learn about the Lean/Continuous Improvement process. The various parts are being pursued simultaneously in order to accomplish the many tasks by the New Year.

Three Work Groups are in the process of being formed to meet the requirements of this legislation. As materials from each of these work groups are generated, the materials will be posted here, enabling all interested parties to track and review the progress of these groups.

In addition, DHHS will carry out a number of budget-related tasks identified in LD 400
