An Act To Restore Benefits under the Circuitbreaker Program

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

Whereas,  a transfer from unappropriated surplus must be made in order to increase General Fund reserves at the close of fiscal year 2007-08 to reduce the risk of an adverse effect on the General Fund budget of a deteriorating national economy and high oil prices; 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.
