Campaign to Protect Chapter 33 in Maine

In 2012, Maine updated regulations and created excellent new rules on the use of restraint and seclusion. In December 2012, some Main legislators tried to roll back the changes. Due to hard work by advocates and some lucky timing, compromise legislation was agreed upon. It looks like a very good compromise which preserves the intent of the Chapter 33 updates:
