Sections 7 and 8 correct language added by Public Law 2001, chapter 545 concerning service credit purchases by employees of the Maine Technical College System by taking out the reference to electing to purchase service credits. That deletion is consistent with other provisions in chapter 545. The appropriate effective date is provided.

Sections 9 and 10 correct a conflict created by Public Law 2001, chapter 559, Part KK; chapter 604 and chapter 697, Part B, which amended the law enforcement training standards exemptions and add an appropriate effective date. Chapter 697 added the State Fire Marshal and the Chief of the Bureau of Liquor Enforcement as exempt from the training standards. Chapter 559, Part KK also added the State Fire Marshal and the Chief of the Bureau of Liquor Enforcement, but also deleted the repeal of the exemption for capitol security officers. Chapter 559 includes training standards for capitol security officers.

Sections 11 and 12 correct a conflict created by Public Law 2001, chapters 671 and 687 that amended the same section of law with different wording concerning who may accompany a person holding a motor vehicle instruction permit. Chapter 671 provided that a person who met the requirements of the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 29-A, section 1304, subsection 1, paragraph E, including holding a valid license for the immediately preceding 2 consecutive years, could serve as an accompanying operator, even if that person's own license was cancelled for physical, mental or emotional reasons pursuant to Title 29-A, section 1259, as long as the Secretary of State approved. Chapter 687 provided that a person who held a valid license for the immediately preceding 2 consecutive years who met the requirements of paragraph E, could serve as an accompanying operator, even though that person's own license was cancelled for physical, mental or emotional reasons, with the Secretary of State's approval, if the license had been cancelled within the previous 2 consecutive years, without referring to Title 29-A, section 1259. The Secretary of State has authority under rules to cancel licenses for physical, mental and emotional reasons, so a license could be cancelled for those reasons without the cancellation occurring under Title 29-A, section 1259.
