| An Act To Streamline the Time-share Rate Collection Process |
|
| | Emergency preamble. Whereas, Acts of the Legislature do not become | effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as | emergencies; and |
|
| | Whereas, utilities that provide service to time-share estates on | a property-wide basis and not on an individual-owner basis | confront great practical difficulties if required by the managing | entity to bill individual time-share owners, and some utilities | are currently being required to confront such difficulties; 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. 33 MRSA §593-A is enacted to read: |
|
| §593-A.__Utility billing for time-share estates |
|
| | 1.__Definitions.__As used in this section, the following terms | have the following meanings. |
