The required
local activities in this bill may represent a State mandate pursuant to the
Constitution of Maine. Unless General

or a Mandate Preamble is amended to the bill and two-thirds of the members of
each House vote to exempt this mandate from the funding requirement,
municipalities may not be required to implement these changes. |
