An Act To Correct an Error in the Law That Allows a Break in Control of Access on William L. Clarke Drive in the City of Westbrook
Emergency preamble. Whereas, acts and resolves of the Legislature do not become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as emergencies; and
Whereas,  in 2011, the 125th Legislature approved a break in access for a parcel of land in the City of Westbrook; and
Whereas,  the approved law contained an error that has caused significant delays in the development of this parcel of land; and
Whereas,  it is important that this error be corrected as soon as possible to prevent further delays; 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,
