| This legislation may require a municipality to schedule an expedited special meeting to vote on a citizen petition for an ordinance change to amend or nullify a land use permit, which may represent a state mandate pursuant to Article IX, section 21 of the Maine constitution. Pursuant to the Mandate Preamble, the two-thirds vote of all members elected to each House exempts the State from the constitutional requirement to fund 90% of the additional local costs. | Municipality | Insignificant | |||||||
