An Act Regarding Transition Provisions for the Sharing of

 
Costs in Certain School Districts

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

Education to conduct a review and analysis of the implications of
the proposed cost-sharing mechanism established pursuant to the
Maine Revised Statutes, Title 20-A, section 15688, subsection 2
on the member municipalities of school administrative districts
and community school districts whose cost-sharing formulas were
established in accordance with Title 20-A, sections 1301 and
1704, respectively; and

 
Whereas, it is necessary to establish transition provisions for
certain school districts whose cost-sharing formulas may result
in adverse fiscal impacts for member municipalities within those
school districts in fiscal year 2005-06; and

 
Whereas, it is necessary to allow the Department of Education
additional time to assist certain school districts in developing
transition plans that include a phase-in to achieve the new
method of determining member municipalities' local contribution
to the total cost of education in accordance with Title 20-A,
section 15688, subsection 2; 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,
