| | | An Act To Amend the Law Regarding Fishing Derbies |
|
| | | Emergency preamble. Whereas, acts of the Legislature do not become | | effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as | | emergencies; and |
|
| | | Whereas, students may not be able to obtain adequate funding for | | the upcoming academic school year unless this bill takes effect | | in time to allow academic fishing derbies to take place during | | this year's open-water fishing season; 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. 12 MRSA §12504, sub-§1, as enacted by PL 2003, c. 414, Pt. A, | | §2 and affected by c. 614, §9, is amended to read: |
|
| | | 1. Permit required. Except as provided in section | | 12504-A and 12505, a person may not conduct a fishing derby or |
|
| | | fishing tournament without a valid permit issued under this | | section. |
