PROPOSED RULE NUMBERS: 2022-P174, P175
BRIEF SUMMARY: This proposed rulemaking proposes to:
(1) AMEND 10-149 CMR Ch. 5, Introduction, Table of Contents, Rule History.
(2) REPEAL 10-149 CMR Ch. 5, Section 63 (“Section 63”), In-Home and Community Support Services for Elderly and Other Adults.
(3) REPEAL 14-197 CMR Ch. 11 (“Chapter 11”), Consumer-Directed Personal Assistance Services.
(4) REPLACE the Section 63 rule and the Ch. 11 rule with a new Section 63 rule, Home Based Supports and Services for Older and Disabled Adults.
The Department is proposing an effective date of July 1, 2023, for the amendment of the Ch. 5 Introduction rule, for the repeal of the current Ch. 11 and Section 63 rules, and for the replacement of those repealed rules with the new Section 63 rule. The current Ch. 11 rule and Section 63 rule will remain in effect through June 30, 2023.
10 149 CMR Ch. 5, Introduction, Table of Contents, Rule History: The Department is updating the Introduction, deleting the Section 63 Table of Contents from the Ch. 5 Table of Contents, and updating the Rule History.
Section 63 and Ch. 11 rulemakings:
Resolves 2011 Ch. 71 directed the Department to adopt a long-term services and supports plan, known as the “Lean Implementation Plan,” and make its action items a work priority. One of the action items listed in the plan required the Department to prioritize the consolidation of two state-funded in-home care and community support services programs for elderly and other adults, currently codified as Section 63 and Ch. 11.
Stakeholder Engagement: In May 2019, the Department hosted a “Convening on Aging and Long-Term Services and Supports” with stakeholders to establish priorities for aging and long-term services and supports (LTSS) reform. This rulemaking implements one of the priorities recommended by stakeholders which was to update LTSS policies to bring programmatic inconsistencies into alignment where appropriate.
In July 2022, the Department held a “listening session” with various stakeholders to receive comments and suggestions on the merging of the two rules. Stakeholders included providers, consumers, the service coordination agencies, prospective sub-contractors, and the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. Stakeholders expressed support for the Department’s plan to merge the rules but recommended that the Department “grandfather” Ch. 11 consumers so that these consumers would not be subject to the household asset limits in Section 63. Furthermore, stakeholders shared concerns that merging the rules could negatively impact consumers and urged the Department to maintain the same services wherever possible.
The differences between the proposed Section 63 rule and the current Section 63 and Ch. 11 rules include the following:
1. Updates the title of the rule to “Home Based Supports and Services (HBSS) for Older and Disabled Adults” to reflect current terminology;
2. Updates the definition of “Liquid Asset” in Section 63.02-25 to include revocable and irrevocable trusts;
3. Updates the eligibility section of the rule, Section 63.03-1(B), to require an eligible consumer to be “a resident of Maine”;
4. Clarifies in rule that only the Department may terminate HBSS in Section 63.04-2;
5. Adds Section 63.04-4 which lists the reasons that an Assessing Service Agency, Service Coordination Agency or the Department can deny or terminate the consumer from receiving Consumer-Directed Services;
6. Removes diagnostic services under Section 63.05;
7. Clarifies the list of non-covered services in Section 63.06;
8. Creates a new subsection titled “Limits” (Section 63.07) to outline the total monthly costs of services for consumers receiving each level of care;
9. Creates a new subsection, Section 63.10, titled “Responsibilities of the Assessing Services Agency and the Service Coordination Agency” to organize all Assessing Services Agency and Service Coordination Agency responsibilities in one subsection of the rule;
10. Streamlines Section 63.10-4 to specify that program reports must align with the provisions in the contract between the Department and the Service Coordination Agencies;
11. §63.03-1(C) continues the current Section 63 requirements for liquid assets, except that Ch. 11 Consumers who are receiving Ch. 11 services on June 30, 2023, are exempt from this liquid asset requirement.
12. §63.12-2 (Consumer Payment Formula for Former Ch. 11 Consumers), proposes a separate consumer payment formula for those Ch. 11 Consumers who were receiving Ch. 11 services on June 30, 2023.
13. §63.12-3(A)(1)(a) (Waiver of Consumer Payment) proposes a separate household asset amount for determining eligibility for waiver of consumer payment for those Ch. 11 Consumers who were receiving Ch. 11 services on June 30, 2023.
14.Removes unnecessary and unused definitions and references to the Office of Elder Services.

AGENCY: 12-170 - Department of Labor (DOL), Bureau of Labor Standards (BLS)
CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE: Ch. 9 (Major substantive), Rules Governing Administrative Civil Money Penalties

The rule expands upon the process for appeals of such penalties, by explaining in more detail the conduct of an appeal hearing, the role of the Hearing Officer in conducting the hearing and issuing a Recommended Decision, the role of the Bureau Director in issuing a final agency decision, and the right of appeal to Superior Court.

AGENCY: 02-298 - Department of Professional and Financial Regulation (PFR), Office of Professional and Occupational Regulation (OPOR), Board of Real Estate Appraisers
CHAPTER NUMBERS AND TITLES:
Ch. 220, Educational Course Requirements
Ch, 230, Supervising Appraiser Duties
ADOPTED RULE NUMBERS: 2022-178, 179
CONCISE SUMMARY: The adopted Ch. 220 removes the continuing education rule requirement that program attendees must be in the actual physical presence of the instructor, and further amends the rule to permit synchronous distance education programs. Board approval of a program is valid for both in-person and synchronous delivery.
The adopted Ch. 230 removes the requirement that a supervising appraiser, who is responsible for the training and direct supervision of a trainee real property appraiser, personally inspect a certain number of appraised properties with the trainee. The AQB requires a supervising appraiser to personally inspect each appraised property with the trainee appraiser until the supervising appraiser determines the trainee is competent to inspect the property in accordance with the Competency Rule of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USP AP) for the property type. The adopted rule removes the requirement that the supervising appraiser personally inspects each appraised property with the trainee for the first fifty (50) appraisals at a minimum and, instead, allows the supervising appraiser to determine when the trainee is competent in accordance with the Competency Rule of USPAP and no longer needs personal supervision for a particular property type. Accordingly, the adopted rule removes, as no longer necessary, the requirement that in the event the trainee had a series of supervising appraisers, the determination of competency must be made by the trainee's most recent supervising appraiser on the basis of at least 25 supervised inspections.
