| Authorizing a municipality to hold an expedited town meeting or a town council meeting if the applicant pays for the costs of the meeting regarding a proposed ordinance change is a state mandate pursuant to the Maine Constitution. Allowing municipalities to be reimbursed for the cost does not stop it from being a mandate but does remove the finanacial burden of the required activities. | Municipality | Insignificant | |||||||
