This bill makes the following corrections to errors in recently enacted law.

Part A, consistent with Senate Amendment "A" to Committee Amendment "A" to L.D. 949, which was adopted by the Senate and the House of Representatives, removes from Public Law 1999, chapter 504, a modification of the definition of "facility owner" for applicants to the Fund Insurance Review Board.

Part B, in accordance with Resolve 1999, chapter 74, section 6, adds an appropriation section to provide funds for the per diem and expenses of legislative members and the expenses of other members of the Task Force to Study the Effect of Government Regulation on Small Businesses.

Part C provides that Public Law 1999, chapter 460, which amended the Maine Tort Claims Act, applies to a claim or cause of action based on an act or omission occurring on or after the effective date of that public law.

Part D amends the eligibility requirements for burial in the Veterans' Memorial Cemetery.

Part E removes the chiefs of police to correctly reflect Senate Amendment "A" to Committee Amendment "A" to S.P. 571, L.D. 1638, which was adopted by both Houses of the Legislature.

Part F clarifies the effective dates of Part KKK of Public Law 1999, chapter 401.

Part G removes from Public Law 1999, chapter 513 that portion of the legislation that authorized the Finance Authority of Maine to issue up to $35,000,000 in bonds, backed by the State of Maine, to finance the construction of transmission lines to connect northern Maine's utilities with the transmission grid of the United States. This Part also resolves a conflict created by Public Law 1999, chapter 484, which amended the same provision of law.

Part H amends Public Law 1999, chapter 505, Part A, section 7 to clarify that direct payments are not based on financial need and will only be available to Maine residents or corporations.
