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

Emergency clause. In view of the emergency cited in the preamble, this legislation takes effect when approved.
