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

Whereas,  this legislation extends the number of terms that may be served on the Maine Employers’ Mutual Insurance Company from 3 terms to 4 terms; and

Whereas,  immediate enactment of this legislation is necessary to authorize current board members whose terms are expiring to be appointed to additional terms; and
