|
| | | Whereas, the 90-day period may not terminate until after the | | beginning of the next fiscal year; and |
|
| | | Whereas, certain obligations and expenses incident to the | | operation of state departments and institutions will become due | | and payable immediately; and |

This provision excludes positions funded | | by the Maine Military Authority Enterprise Fund. The State | | Budget Officer shall take the action necessary to ensure | | compliance with this section except as provided for in this | | section and the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 5, section 1583-B. |
