To providers of Section 28- Rehabilitative and Community Support Services for Children with Cognitive Impairments and Functional Limitations:

The Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Licensing and Certification (DLC) recently adopted CMR 10-144 Chapter 123 Behavioral Health Organizations Licensing Rule, with an effective date of February 11, 2024.  This rule requires that providers of Section 28 services obtain a Mental Health license in order to provide these services.

Providers with an existing mental health agency license must ensure that the existing license includes this service prior to May 11, 2024.

Providers who are not currently licensed as mental health agencies must submit an application for licensure by May 11, 2024.

The adopted rule and Information about the licensing application process can be found on the DLC website:  https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/dlc/licensing-certification/behavioral-health<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm1haW5lLmdvdi9kaGhzL2RsYy9saWNlbnNpbmctY2VydGlmaWNhdGlvbi9iZWhhdmlvcmFsLWhlYWx0aD91dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Z292ZGVsaXZlcnkiLCJidWxsZXRpbl9pZCI6IjIwMjQwMzE4LjkxOTY5MzQxIn0.u9TkmGlByYkiVpHlBnspPLmzdDMvmL7qC1jocP2FQNA/s/1302775786/br/239027484301-l>

We anticipate that new providers will have questions about the process and requirements.  Questions should be directed to Jennifer.Lynn.Gary at maine.gov<mailto:Jennifer.Lynn.Gary at maine.gov> who can provide technical assistance regarding the rule requirements.
