SUMMARY
This bill repeals that section of law outlining the method of calculating the votes for the Androscoggin County commissioner district budget committee members, and enacts in its stead a new section of law that reflects the current Androscoggin County commissioner districts, which were reapportioned in 2003 after the 2000 census.
