CHAPTER 274

S.P. 835 - L.D. 2236

An Act to Amend the Laws Relating to the Location of Lobster Trap Escape Vents

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

     Whereas, the Legislature recently enacted legislation authorizing the placement of rectangular escape vents on the top of traps but did not address circular vents; and

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

     Sec. 1. 12 MRSA §6433, sub-§1, ¶B, as repealed and replaced by PL 1979, c. 353, §1, is amended to read:

     Emergency clause. In view of the emergency cited in the preamble, this Act takes effect when approved.
