Item 1

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

 
Whereas, this legislation requires referendum approval before it
can take effect; and

 
Whereas, this referendum is connected with the Town of Kennebunk
town meeting to be held on June 13, 2000; and

 
Whereas, unless this legislation is enacted before that date,
the referendum will require a special election, which would be a
considerable financial burden to the Town of Kennebunk; 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,

owned by Maine School Administrative District No. 71 and to
municipal buildings and facilities owned by the Town of Kennebunk
and may own such easements, rights-of-way, sewer lines and other
facilities as are necessary or convenient to provide that service
as long as the costs of locating and constructing sewer
facilities located outside the boundaries of the district for
that purpose are borne entirely by Maine School Administrative
District No. 71 or the Town of Kennebunk and that any sewer
facilities located outside the boundaries of the district for
that purpose are used only by Maine School Administrative
District No. 71 or the Town of Kennebunk.

 
Sec. 2. P&SL 1955, c. 69, §2 is amended to read:

 
*Sec. 2. Authority to contract and maintain. Within said territory and
outside the territory to serve buildings and facilities owned by
Maine School Administrative District No. 71 and the Town of
