‘Emergency preamble. Whereas,  acts and resolves of the Legislature do not become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as emergencies; and

Whereas,  the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 29-A, section 2357, subsection 2, paragraph E contains language that repeals that paragraph October 1, 2013, and this legislation removes that language; and

Whereas,  the date of adjournment of the First Regular Session of the 126th Legislature is uncertain, and this legislation needs to take effect by October 1, 2013; 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,’

‘Emergency clause. In view of the emergency cited in the preamble, this legislation takes effect when approved.’
