State of Maine Proposes Updates to Rules Relating to Boys, Girls, Boys and Girls, Day Camps
The Maine CDC Health Inspection Program is proposing to update and clarify safety and wellness standards for its Rules Relating to Boys, Girls, Boys and Girls, Day Camps and Primitive and Trip Camping (10-144 CMR Ch. 208), which was last updated in 2007. The Department is proposing to change the rule title, add and clarify definitions, incorporate application, licensing and enforcement provisions and requirements from its Administration and Enforcement of Establishments Regulated by the Health Inspection Program Rule (Ch. 201), as well as clarify safety standards for a variety of activities, including adventure challenge activities.
A public hearing regarding this proposal was held in person in Augusta, Maine on January 18th, 2024. Additionally, comments were solicited and accepted digitally until January 28th, and the ACCT submitted comments during this period. We will keep you updated when we hear more.
