| | | Emergency preamble. Whereas, Acts and resolves of the Legislature | | do not become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless | | enacted as emergencies; and |
|
| | | Whereas, the 119th Legislature originally established the | | Commission to Study the Needs and Opportunities Associated | | with the Production of Salmonid Sport Fish in Maine in Resolve | | 1999, chapter 82 and the 120th Legislature reestablished it in | | Public Law 2001, chapter 462; and |
|
| | | Whereas, authorization of this commission for an additional 2- | | year period is essential to complete the original duties | | assigned to the commission and to provide ongoing legislative | | policy guidance on the expenditures of those funds | | appropriated for engineering design for the Embden Hatchery | | and a statewide assessment of all other hatchery facilities; | | and |
|
| | | Whereas, the study must be initiated before the 90-day period | | expires in order that the study may be completed and a report | | submitted in time for submission to the next legislative | | session; 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 |
|
