Review of Major Points

The following short summary covers the major points of the course.

• Title 22 M.R.S.A. §451(2) requires that all LHOs meet the qualification requirements that are in the MCDC rules (10-144 CMR Ch. 294) no later than June 1, 2009. The state will provide 6 hours of training using various methods, such as this web based training, or in a classroom setting. Training the State offers will be at no charge to the participating LHOs.
• It is important to remember that if the LHO is incapacitated or absent the chairperson of the municipal officers is required to perform those duties until the LHO is back on the job or a new one is appointed.
• Maine law has established other municipal officials who have responsibilities similar to yours. For example the Animal Control Officer, the Local Plumbing Inspectors, and the Code Enforcement Officer. You should work with these people as they can often be a big help in remedying a problem.
• The general duties of a LHO applies to complaints, nuisances, and threats that can result in any condition or behavior that can reasonably be expected to place others at significant risk of exposure to infection with a communicable disease.
