Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

 
Sec. 1. 26 MRSA §1221, sub-§4, ¶B, as amended by PL 1995, c. 220, §1,
is further amended to read:

 
B. Subject to paragraph A, each employer's contribution
rate for the 12-month period commencing January 1st of each
year is based upon the employer's experience rating record
and determined from the employer's reserve ratio, which is
the percent obtained by dividing the amount by which, if
any, the employer's contributions credited from the time the
employer first or most recently became an employer,
whichever date is later, and up to and including June 30th
of the preceding year, including any part of the employer's
contributions due for that year paid on or before July 31st
of that year, exceed the employer's benefits charged during
the same period, by the employer's average annual payroll
for the 36-consecutive-month period ending June 30th of the
preceding year. The employer's contribution rate is the
percent shown on the line of the following table on which in
column A there is indicated the employer's reserve ratio and
under the schedule within which the reserve multiple falls
as of September 30th of each year. The following table
applies for each 12-month period commencing January 1st of
each year as determined by paragraph C. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this paragraph, each employer's
contribution rate computed and effective as of July 1, 1981,
is for the 6-month period ending December 31, 1981.
