PART E
‘
Sec. E-1. PL 2007, c. 317, §22 is amended to read:
Sec. 22. Staggered terms. Notwithstanding the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 35-A, section 10007, subsection 3, of the original appointments of voting members of the Maine Energy Conservation Board, one member serves an initial term of one year, one member serves an initial term of 2 years and one member serves an 2 members serve initial term terms of 3 years. An initial term of one or 2 years may not be considered a full term for purposes of limiting the number of terms for which a member may serve.’
summary
L.D. 1851 created the Maine Energy Conservation Board, including 3 public members. The unallocated language provided for staggered terms: one's initial term was for one year, another's initial term was for 2 years and the 3rd initial term was for 3 years.
The committee amendment added an additional public member, but did not amend the unallocated language to address the length of the initial term.
This amendment amends the unallocated language in Public Law 2007, chapter 317 to provide that the initial terms for 2 of the public members are for 3 years.
