Sec. C-1. Referendum; effective date. This Act takes effect 90 days after the adjournment of the First Regular Session of the 121st Legislature, except that Part B of this Act takes effect only for the purpose of permitting its submission to the legal voters within the Brunswick Sewer District at a special or regular town meeting or election held prior to January 1, 2005. The election must be called, advertised and conducted according to the law relating to municipal elections, except that the registrar of voters is not required to prepare or the clerk to post a new list of voters. The registrar of voters must be in session on the secular day next preceding the election. The clerk shall prepare the required ballots, on which the clerk shall reduce the subject matter of Part B of this Act to the following question:
"Do you favor extending the boundary of the Brunswick Sewer District to include the growth area designated on the Town of Brunswick's zoning map, and any subsequent expansions of that growth area, and allowing the boundary to be further extended by action of the Town Council when a threat to public health, safety or welfare is determined to exist and a sewer extension is determined to be the most appropriate solution?"
The voters shall indicate by a cross or check mark placed against the words "Yes" or "No" their opinion on the question.
The results must be declared by the trustees of the Brunswick Sewer District and due certificate of the results filed by the clerk with the Secretary of State.
Part B of this Act takes effect immediately upon its acceptance by a majority of the legal voters voting at the election.
Effective pending referendum, unless otherwise indicated.
