Requires local
school administrative units (SAU's) to submit monthly reports to the director
of the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention within the Department
of Health and Human Services detailing the steps that the SAU is taking to
comply with the guidance or directives and any health-related executive order
or proclamation by the Governor while a health-related state of emergency is
in effect. |

The required
local activities in this bill may represent a state mandate pursuant to the
Constitution of Maine. If the bill does require a local unit of government to
expand or modify its activities so as to necessitate additional expenditures
from local revenue, the state mandate provisions of the Constitution of Maine
require either: (1) General Fund appropriations be provided to fund at least
90% of any additional necessitated local costs of the mandate; or (2) a
Mandate Preamble be added to the bill and two-thirds of the members of each
House vote to exempt the mandate from the funding requirement. If the bill
does represent a state mandate and neither one of these actions occurs, the
local units of government will not be required to implement the mandated
activities. |

Fiscal Detail
and Notes |
|
|
|
|
|
|
This bill
includes ongoing General Fund appropriations of $72,348 in fiscal year
2021-22 and $74,663 in fiscal year
2022-23 to a newly created Health-related State of Emergency - School
Reporting Requirement program within the Department of Education to reimburse
local SAU's for the costs to prepare and submit monthly reports to the Maine
Center for Disease Control and Prevention detailing the steps the SAU is
taking to comply with the guidance or directives issued by the Governor
during a health-related state of emergency.
This fiscal note assumes it will take 1 hour to prepare the original
report and one half-hour to update the report for each school administrative
unit for each month that school is in session. Any unspent balances at the end of a fiscal
year will lapse to the unappropriated surplus of the General Fund. |
