Board approves corrected April minutes after edits to prior motions
Summary
The Board of Alcohol & Drug Counselors approved corrected minutes from April 17, 2026, adding precise language to two prior motions — one citing a statutory violation and another requesting a wellbeing plan statement — with a 3–0–1 vote (one abstention).
The Board of Alcohol & Drug Counselors convened May 15, 2026, and approved the April 17, 2026 minutes after members requested two corrections to previously recorded motions. Board Chair Robert Rogers called the meeting to order at 9:01 a.m.
Laurence Gross moved and Darlene Panzino seconded approval of the minutes with corrections. The first correction adds the language: “a violation of 10 M.R.S. § 8003(5‑A)(A)(1), for the practice of fraud, deceit or misrepresentation in connection with services rendered while engaged in the occupation or profession for which the person is licensed; and offer an interim consent agreement for suspension of license.” The second correction updates the Franklin Avery III motion to include a “statement from the applicant detailing their wellbeing plan.” The motion to approve the minutes passed with three in favor and one abstention (Robert Rogers).
Why it matters: Minutes are the official record of Board actions and the added language clarifies the statutory basis and supervisory expectations attached to earlier disciplinary and licensing motions. The Board’s vote and the corrected language will be reflected in the official record going forward.
