Transportation, Storage and Final Disposition of Dead Bodies _ Emergency Rule

Date posted:

Attachment(s):

Maine’s Department of Health and Human Services is adopting this rule on an emergency basis to comply with Public Law 2023, chapter 677, which requires the collection of an additional $5.00 fee for burial-transit permits issued for the transportation, temporary storage, disinterment, or final disposition of a dead human body. This rule change is effective immediately upon filing and concurrent with the emergency adoption of 10-146 CMR Chapter 7, a related rule, to ensure that the legislatively mandated burial-transit permit fee is reflected in rules containing charges for the permit, providing for the law’s appropriation of funds to support Maine’s Cemetery Preservation Commission. Additionally, this rulemaking replaces the outdated reference to a repealed statute (30 MRS § 2352) with the correctly referenced statute, 30-A MRS § 2652.
