|
| | Emergency preamble. Whereas, Acts of the Legislature do not become | effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as | emergencies; and |
|
| | Whereas, in order to provide adequate time for a study of vital | energy-related matters prior to the beginning of the next | legislative session, this Act must take effect immediately; 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: |
|
