| | | An Act To Encourage the Future of Maine's Dairy Industry |
|
| | | Emergency preamble. Whereas, Acts of the Legislature do not become | | effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as | | emergencies; and |
|
| | | Whereas, volatility of prices paid to milk producers jeopardizes | | the viability of the Maine dairy industry; and |
|
| | | Whereas, the Maine dairy industry is essential to the State's | | rural economy and communities and generates business activity and | | preserves open space; and |
|
| | | Whereas, the stabilization of the dairy industry during | | temporary price drops constitutes a public purpose and an | | appropriate expenditure of state revenues; 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| | | Sec. 1. 7 MRSA §2953, 2nd ¶, as repealed and replaced by PL 1975, c. | | 517, §2, is amended to read: |
