| | | An Act To Strengthen the Energy Resources Council |
|
| | | Emergency preamble. Whereas, Acts of the Legislature do not become | | effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as | | emergencies; and |
|
| | | Whereas, in order to provide adequate time for a study of vital | | energy-related matters prior to the beginning of the next | | legislative session, this Act must take effect immediately; 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. 5 MRSA §3327, sub-§3, as enacted by PL 2001, c. 630, §1, is | | amended to read: |
|
| | | 3. Quarterly meetings; staff; funding. The council shall | | meet at least quarterly. The council shall prepare a work | | program for each year establishing priorities among its efforts. | | The State Planning Office, within the Executive Department, shall | provide staff support. Each member of the council shall enter | into an agreement with the State Planning Office to share in the | cost of providing the staff support. |
