CHAPTER 11
H.P. 1065 - L.D. 1496
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 Kennebunk town meeting to be held on June 8, 1999; and
Whereas, unless this Act is enacted before that date, the referendum will require a special election, which would be a considerable financial burden on 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,
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

For the purpose of registration of voters, the registrar of voters shall be in session on the secular day next preceding the election. The town clerk of the town shall prepare the required ballots, on which the town clerk shall reduce the subject matter of this Act to the following question:
