An Act To Clarify the Composition of the Advisory Council on Tax-deferred Arrangements
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1. 5 MRSA §884, sub-§3,  as amended by PL 2001, c. 503, §2, is repealed and the following enacted in its place:
 
3.  Employee representatives.     The employee representatives of the advisory council are 7 classified state employees, one from each bargaining unit, appointed by the Governor from each bargaining unit recognized under Title 26, chapter 9-B, recommended by the employee organization certified to represent the unit.
 
Employee representatives are appointed for terms of 3 years, except that of the first appointments, one must be for one year, one for 2 years and one for 3 years.
 
SUMMARY
The bill clarifies the composition of the Advisory Council on Tax-deferred Arrangements to provide that employee representatives are recommended by the employee organizations certified to represent units under the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 26, chapter 9-B. Currently, the law identifies the employee organizations by name. Since this provision was enacted a new organization, the Maine State Law Enforcement Association, has been certified to represent one of the units.
