‘Sec. 1. 30-A MRSA §4360, sub-§3, ¶B,  as enacted by PL 2005, c. 597, §3 and affected by §4, is amended to read:
 
B. The ordinance sets the number of building or development permits, not including permits for affordable housing, at 105% or more of the mean number of permits issued within the municipality during the 10 years immediately prior to the year in which the number is calculated. The mean is determined by adding together the total number of permits issued, excluding permits issued for affordable housing, for each year in the prior 10 years and then dividing by 10;’
 
SUMMARY
The amendment provides that the building permit limit is calculated by excluding permits issued for affordable housing and also differs from the bill in that it applies to all towns in the State.
