LD 1948 Maine House · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Fund Mainecare

LD 1948 provides a one-time $117,618,761 allocation from the General Fund to MaineCare (Maine's Medicaid program) for fiscal year 2024-25. It directly affects MaineCare recipients and healthcare providers who receive payments through the program. The bill's key mechanism is moving this funding from the General Fund for immediate use in the current fiscal year. Part B of the bill cancels a previously allocated amount from Public Law 2025, chapter 2, Part D, with that cancellation effective June 20, 2025. This is a procedural funding adjustment, not a new policy.
