| Requiring a referendum vote by the town of Livermore Falls and subsequently, if that is approved, a referendum vote by Franklin County, are activities that are state mandates pursuant to the Maine constitution. The additional local costs include voting materials, advertising and notices, staff time and incidentals related to conducting the voting. Pursuant to the Mandate Preamble, the two-thirds vote of all the members elected to each House exempts the State from the constitutional requirement to fund 90% of the additional local costs. | Municipality | Insignificant | |||||||

| Fiscal Detail and Notes | |||||||||
| Although still a mandate, the committee amendment has changed the voting at both the municipal and county levels to be conducted at the general elections in November of 2005 and 2006, respectively, eliminating the special elctions that would have been more costly. The remaining costs to the local units are not expected to be significant. | |||||||||
