CHAPTER 82
S.P. 1010 - L.D. 2578
An Act to Provide for the Year 2000 Allocations of the State Ceiling on Private Activity Bonds
Emergency preamble. Whereas, Acts of the Legislature do not become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as emergencies; and
Whereas, the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 10, section 363 and Public Law 1999, chapter 443 make a partial allocation of the state ceiling on private activity bonds to some issuers for calendar year 2000, but leave a portion of the state ceiling unallocated and do not provide sufficient allocations for certain types of private activity bonds that may require an allocation prior to the effective date of this Act if not enacted on an emergency basis; and
Whereas, if these bond issues are delayed due to lack of available state ceiling, the rates and terms under which these bonds may be issued may be adversely affected, resulting in increased costs to beneficiaries or even unavailability of financing for certain projects; and
Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create an emergency within the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and require the following legislation as immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, therefore,
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1. Allocation to the Treasurer of State. No portion of the state ceiling for calendar year 2000 is allocated to the Treasurer of State. No portion of the state ceiling for calendar year 2001 is allocated to the Treasurer of State.
