|
| | | Emergency preamble. Whereas, acts of the Legislature do not become | | effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as | | emergencies; and |
|
| | | Whereas, the 1867 charter for the Portland Public Library | | presents the City of Portland with significant obstacles in its | | operation of and its pursuit of funding for improvements to the | | city's library; and |

| | | Whereas, obsolete language in the charter needs to be removed; | | and |

|

|
| | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: |
|
| | | Sec. 1. P&SL 1867, c. 174, §3, first sentence is amended to read: |
