Required Activity Unit Affected Costs
Requiring school attendance coordinators to serve as the liaison between the school and the local law enforcement agency in matters pertaining to student absenteeism represents a state mandate pursuant to the Constitution of Maine.  The additional local costs can not be determined at this time but are not expected to be significant.  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.
