CHAPTER 325
H.P. 1146 - L.D. 1564
Emergency preamble. Whereas, Acts of the Legislature do not become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as emergencies; and
Whereas, this Act must take effect before the expiration of the 90-day period in order to permit contracts for transportation to be extended before the beginning of the next school year; 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:
Sec. 1. 20-A MRSA §5401, sub-§13, ¶A, as enacted by PL 1981, c. 693, §§5 and 8, is amended to read:
A. A contract may not exceed a period of 5 years, except that the commissioner may authorize a one-year extension of a 5-year contract when such an extension would be beneficial to a school administrative unit.
Emergency clause. In view of the emergency cited in the preamble, this Act takes effect when approved.
Effective May 27, 2003.
