Item 1

 
Emergency preamble. Whereas, Acts of the Legislature do not become
effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as
emergencies; and

 
Whereas, the Secretary of State is releasing liens on titled
vehicles that are older than 66 months assuming that they have
been satisfied; and

 
Whereas, car loans are for periods that may run longer than 66
months; and

 
Whereas, this legislation needs to take effect immediately so
that liens that are on titled vehicles will not be released
prior to the loan being satisfied; and

 
Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts
create an emergency within the meaning of the Constitution of
Maine and require the following legislation as immediately
necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and
safety; now, therefore,

 
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

 
Sec. 1. 29-A MRSA §705, sub-§3, as enacted by PL 1995, c. 482, Pt.
A, §16, is repealed.

 
Emergency clause. In view of the emergency cited in the
preamble, this Act takes effect when approved.

 
SUMMARY

 
This bill repeals a provision that allows the Secretary of
State to assume that any lien against a titled vehicle has
been satisfied after 66 months, even if the term of the loan
is more than 66 months.
