| Requiring the enactment, amendment or rejection of ordinances or bylaws to be submitted to municipal referendum upon receipt of petitions signed by 10% of voters is a state mandate pursuant to the Maine constitution. Because no special election is required, the additional local referendum costs are not expected to be significant. | Municipality | Insignificant | |||||||
