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

Whereas,  families have exchange students living with them and attending school with family members; and

Whereas,  due to the way the law is written now, the exchange student is not allowed to ride in a vehicle with a person that is under 18 years of age; and

Whereas,  this causes a hardship for the families; 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,’

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