An Act to Require Public Hearings for School Administrative District Referenda
Mandate preamble. This measure requires one or more local units of government to expand or modify activities so as to necessitate additional expenditures from local revenues but does not provide funding for at least 90% of those expenditures. Pursuant to the Constitution of Maine, Article IX, Section 21, two thirds of all of the members elected to each House have determined it necessary to enact this measure.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1. 20-A MRSA §1352, sub-§1, ¶C, as amended by PL 1989, c. 414, §5, is further amended to read:
C. The warrants and other notices for the referendum shall must be in the same manner as provided in Title 21-A, except that the district board of directors shall hold a public hearing at least 7 days before the referendum vote. At least 7 days before the public hearing, the board of directors shall give notice of the public hearing by having a copy of the proposed referendum, together with the time and place of hearing, posted in the same manner required for posting a warrant under this section.
Effective September 18, 1999, unless otherwise indicated.
