SUMMARY
L.D. 1851 created the Maine Energy Conservation Board, including 3 public members. The unallocated language provided for staggered terms: one's initial term was for one year, another's initial term was for 2 years and the 3rd initial term was for 3 years.
The committee amendment added an additional public member, but did not amend the unallocated language to address the length of the initial term.
This amendment amends the unallocated language in Public Law 2007, chapter 317 to provide that the initial terms for 2 of the public members are for 3 years.
