SUMMARY

This amendment replaces the section of the committee amendment allocating funds to the Maine Clean Election Fund. Instead, this amendment requires the State Controller to:

1. Transfer $3,000,000 from the Maine Clean Election Fund to the General Fund within 10 days of enactment; and

2. Transfer, as required by statute, $3,000,000 into the Maine Clean Election Fund by January 1, 2019.

The amendment also provides for an allocation of funds in fiscal year 2017-18 to offset an error in Public Law 2017, chapter 284 that resulted in a negative allocation of funds in fiscal year 2018-19.
