Public Law 2019, chapter 274 enacted the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 22, section
3196, which requires the Department of Health and Human Services to provide coverage to a MaineCare member for abortion services. Abortion services that are not federally approved Medicaid services must be funded by the State. This bill repeals Title 22, section 3196, removing the requirement that the department fund abortion services for MaineCare members and removing the requirement that the State pay when the abortion services are not covered by Medicaid.
