Sec. 28. Emergency clause; referendum; effective date. In view of the emergency cited in the preamble, this Act takes effect when approved but only for the purpose of permitting its submission to the legal voters within the territory described in section 1 at the election called for that purpose by January 1, 2006. The election must be called, advertised and conducted according to the law relating to municipal elections, except that the registrar of voters is not required to prepare or the town clerk to post a new list of voters. For the purpose of registration of voters, the registrar of voters must be in session on the secular day preceding the election. The subject matter of this Act is reduced to the following question:

"Do you favor adopting the Kennebunk Sewer District charter, 2005 revision?"

The voters shall indicate by a cross or check mark placed against the word "Yes" or "No" their opinion of the same.

The results must be declared by the municipal officers of the Town of Kennebunk and due certificate of the results filed by the town clerk with the Secretary of State.

This Act takes effect for all other purposes immediately upon its approval by a majority of the legal voters voting at the election.

Effective pending referendum.
