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

Whereas, the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 13-C, which governs domestic and foreign corporations in Maine, became effective on July 1, 2003, and changes to that law and other entity laws administered by the Secretary of State must be in place by July 1, 2004, in order for the Secretary of State to properly administer these laws; 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. 13-B MRSA §111 is enacted to read:

§111.__Certificate of existence; certificate of authority;

certificate of fact

1.__Application.__Any person may apply to the Secretary of State for a certificate of existence for a domestic corporation or a certificate of authority for a foreign corporation.
