The proposed rule repeals and replaces an existing joint rule regarding prescribing controlled substances to treat pain. As originally proposed, the joint rule: defines certain terms; requires that clinicians achieve and maintain competence in assessing and treating pain; requires that clinicians consider the use of non-pharmacologic modalities and non-controlled drugs in treatment of pain prior to prescribing controlled substances; requires that clinicians use and document Universal Precautions when prescribing controlled substances (i.e. evaluating the patient including conducting a risk assessment to minimize the potential for adverse effects, abuse, misuse, diversion, addiction and overdose, developing a treatment plan, obtaining informed consent, employing a treatment agreement, monitoring, and creating and maintaining medical records); requires that clinicians report illegal acts such as the illegal acquisition and selling of drugs; requires clinicians comply with state and federal controlled substance laws and regulations and CDC guideline for prescribing opioids; and requires clinicians who prescribe controlled substances to maintain current clinical knowledge by complying with continuing education requirements. Following receipt of written comments, the Boards made substantive changes to the proposed rule, including adding definitions for "medical emergency" and "opioid use disorder" and changes to the section of the rule regarding risk assessment. As a result, the proposed rule with substantive changes is being published for additional public comment regarding the changes to the rule as originally proposed. PUBLIC HEARING: None planned. This is a publication of substantive proposed changes to a proposed rule in order to allow public comment on the proposed changes as required by Title 5 MRS §8052(5)(B). Requests to hold a public hearing by any interested person may be submitted in writing to the identified agency contact person.

This regional planning effort implements the directive in PL 2011 ch. 682 section 34, for the Commission to initiate prospective zoning in the unorganized and deorganized parts of the state. The purpose of the Rural Business Development Subdistrict (D-RB) is to encourage an appropriate range of business development in rural areas, and locate development in or at the edge of existing development and in concentrated areas along appropriate portions of major transportation corridors. The locations for the D-RB are selected to maintain the rural character of the region and avoid significant visual, natural resource, and fiscal impacts of unplanned growth. The D-RB subdistrict would include areas to accommodate a range of small commercial, light manufacturing, and institutional facilities and businesses that are generally compatible with, and complementary to, natural resource-based land uses; but may create some adverse impacts to residential uses, recreation uses, or resource protection.

FINANCIAL IMPACT ON MUNICIPALITIES OR COUNTIES: None AGENCY: 10-144 - Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Office for Family Independence (OFI) CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE: Ch. 331, Maine Public Assistance Manual, TANF Rule #109P - 128th Legislative Changes: Introduction; Ch. I, Eligibility Process; Ch. II, Eligibility Requirements (Non-Financial); Ch. III, Eligibility Requirements (Financial); Ch. IV, Budgeting Process; Ch. V, Post TANF Benefits; Ch. VI, Administrative Procedures; Ch. VII, Non-Citizens; Ch. VIII, Emergency Assistance; Ch. XI, TANF Economic Support for Working Families; Appendices; Charts; Budget Sheets PROPOSED RULE NUMBER: 2017-P132 BRIEF SUMMARY: To conform to policy changes made in statute in the 128th legislative session, this rule makes several changes to the Maine Public Assistance Manual (TANF). The changes include increases in the maximum payment amounts for the TANF basic benefit and the Special Need Housing Allowance payment. Eligibility changes include the removal of the deprivation requirement for TANF and changes to the ratio of housing costs to income for the Special Need Housing Allowance payment. The description of good cause reasons for failure to cooperate with the TANF employment and training program, ASPIRE, has been revised and specific examples have been deleted and replaced with a reference to the good cause section of the TANF-ASPIRE program. A TANF Work Incentive Payment has been created to pay a once in a lifetime $400 payment to recipients who go to work and keep their job for four consecutive months. To comply with statutory requirements, these rule changes have also been promulgated on an emergency basis in a separate filing. In addition to the changes noted above, the Department is proposing several other changes. These changes could not be included in the emergency rule because they were not specified as emergency in nature and thus have been added to the proposed rule only. These proposed additional changes to the Introduction and Ch. I, II, III, IV, VI, VII, and the Appendices were done to reformat and re-organize chapters, and to reword and make some ambiguously drafted provisions more clear. Whereas the proposed rule would amend several chapters, it would also completely repeal and replace Ch. II and XI. The removal of the deprivation requirement from Ch. II by emergency rule required several sections to be reformatted, and so the Department addressed the entire chapter to make it more intuitively organized and more precisely drafted. Ch. XI is replaced for better organization of its provisions. Except where expressly stated below, the repeal and replacement of those chapters does not include any policy change that is not already part of the emergency rulemaking. Ch. VII is being repealed altogether and not replaced, with its provisions being redistributed to more appropriate chapters in the manual. This also does not represent a change in policy. See http://www.Maine.gov/dhhs/ofi/rules/index.shtml for rules and related rulemaking documents. PUBLIC HEARING: None.

AGENCY: 10-144 - Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Office for Family Independence (OFI) CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE: Ch. 607, ASPIRE-TANF Program Rules, Rule #24P: Budget-related changes to Good Cause and Parents as Scholars Program, and clarification to child under 6 work requirements PROPOSED RULE NUMBER: 2017-P133 BRIEF SUMMARY: This rule makes two changes to ASPIRE policy, based on state statutory changes from the 128th legislative session. First, mirroring such changes to state law, it shortens and modifies the list of good cause reasons for noncompliance with ASPIRE work participation requirements. Second, it adds a requirement of the Parents as Scholars Program (PaS) that the education path must be for the pursuit of a degree or certification with at least an average job outlook. The rule expands on the statutory directive by specifying that in deciding whether an educational path meets the criterion, the Department will rely on publicly available job-market data and analysis from Maine Department of Labor. The other change to the rule clarifies that a sole provider with a child under 6 can meet the work requirements with 20 hours a week of work activities.
