‘
"Do you favor amending the Constitution of Maine to reduce the size of the House of Representatives from 151 members to 131 members effective in the year 2013?"
’
 
SUMMARY
This amendment, which is the minority report of the committee, reduces the size of the House of Representatives to 131 members rather than the 115 members in the constitutional resolution. It also removes from the resolution the proposed changes to the size of the Senate so that the Senate would remain at an odd number of Senators between 31 and 35.
