The Rethink Mental Bill
Maine lawmakers want to rethink mental health data in crime reports
Joint Order, to Recall from the Governor's Desk L.D. 1187, An Act to Require Certain Mental Health Data to Be Included in Uniform Crime Reports
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would bring back another bill that wants to put private mental health info into crime reports, giving lawmakers another chance to review it.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens gain a chance for more review of a bill that could affect their private mental health information. If the original bill, L.D. 1187, had problems with privacy or how this sensitive data would be used, recalling it gives lawmakers a chance to fix it or stop it. This is important because once mental health data is collected and reported, it's hard to take back. People should tell their lawmakers to make sure any new rules protect their private health details.
