Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

2. Budget estimate; submission to budget advisory committee. The Oxford County commissioners shall submit a budget estimate for the coming year to the budget advisory committee no later than November 1st of each year. The budget advisory committee shall review the budget estimate and prepare the budget. The budget must be presented to the county commissioners before December 1st of each year. The county commissioners shall act on the budget in a timely fashion, not later than the 3rd Tuesday in December 15th of the year preceding the budget year.
