| An Act to Ensure Access to Assisted Living Services |
|
| | Emergency preamble. Whereas, Acts of the Legislature do not become | effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as | emergencies; and |
|
| | Whereas, unless this legislation is enacted as an emergency | measure, the Commission to Study Assisted Living will be unable | to complete its work in a timely manner; 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. Commission to Study Assisted Living. There is established the | Commission to Study Assisted Living, referred to in this section | as the "commission," to study assisted living options for the | State in order to develop high-quality, cost-effective assisted | living housing and service programs to serve the growing | population of elderly and disabled persons in appropriate | community center locations across the State. |
