| | | Emergency preamble. Whereas, Acts of the Legislature do not become | | effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as | | emergencies; and |
|
| | | Whereas, this 90-day period will not terminate until after the | | beginning of the summer season in the island communities; 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. 29-A MRSA §501, sub-§2-A, ķA, as amended by PL 2001, c. 197, | | §4, is further amended to read: |
|
| | | A. Notwithstanding subsection 1, an automobile may be | | registered for an annual fee of $4. A low-speed vehicle or | | golf cart may be registered for an annual fee of $4. The | | registrant must show evidence of payment of the excise tax | | required by Title 36, section 1482. The municipality may | | collect an additional $4 fee annually to defray the cost of | | removing abandoned vehicles or golf carts. A golf cart, as | | defined in section 101, subsection 25-A, that is registered | | under this subsection is exempt from the requirements of | | section 402. |
|
| | | Emergency clause. In view of the emergency cited in the preamble, | | this Act takes effect when approved. |
|
| | | This bill removes certain island golf carts from the liability | | insurance requirement imposed by the Maine Revised Statutes, | | Title 29-A, section 402 because this insurance is not available | | for golf carts at this time. |
