Item 1

 
Emergency preamble. Whereas, Acts of the Legislature do not become
effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as
emergencies; and

 
Whereas, resolution is needed prior to June 30, 2001 of the
issue of the membership of School Administrative District 6 for
purposes of both the provision of educational services for
students from the Town of Frye Island and clarification of the
valuation for school funding purposes; 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. P&SL 1997, c. 41, Pt. A, §8 is amended to read:

 
8. Educational needs. If the Town of Frye Island is
incorporated and separated from the Town of Standish, it remains
in the School Administrative District 6 or its successor and pays
its proportional share of costs, unless or until such time as it
withdraws from the school administrative district in accordance
with applicable state law. School transportation services must
be provided as follows: The Town of Frye Island is authorized to
require each resident with a child or children enrolled in School
Administrative District 6 to provide transportation from the
island to the mainland point of pickup at the resident's own
expense; transportation costs from the mainland point of pickup
to the school must be provided, as is customarily done, by the
school administrative district.

 
Sec. 2. P&SL 1997, c. 41, Pt. A, §9 is enacted to read:

 
9.__Authorization required.__Notwithstanding any withdrawal
proceedings initiated or completed pursuant to the Maine Revised
Statutes, Title 20-A, section 1405 prior to the effective date of
this section, or any subsequent action taken by the Town of Frye
Island, the Town of Frye Island is a part of and may not withdraw
from School Administrative District 6 or its successor unless
such withdrawal is first authorized by further amendment to this
chapter.

this Act takes effect when approved.
