CHAPTER 608

 
S.P. 750 - L.D. 1909

 
An Act To Promote Decision Making Within the Workers'

 
Compensation Board

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

 
Whereas, waiting for the 90-day period to elapse would cause
undue delay in the appointment of the Executive Director of the
Workers' Compensation Board and the realignment of the board to
enable a simple majority of the board to make decisions; and

 
Whereas, it would be detrimental to claimants and employers and
would waste state resources to perpetuate unnecessarily an
inefficient, and often deadlocked, administrative structure; 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. 2 MRSA §6, sub-§1, as amended by PL 2003, c. 469, Pt. A, §1,
is further amended to read:

 
1. Range 91. The salaries of the following state officials
and employees are within salary range 91:
