An Act To Amend the Law Governing the Membership of the Town of York Planning Board and the Town of York Appeals Board
Emergency preamble. Whereas, acts and resolves of the Legislature do not become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as emergencies; and
Whereas,  current law, enacted in 1977, requires the Town of York Appeals Board and Town of York Planning Board each to have at least one member who is a resident of the York Beach geographical area; and
Whereas,  the Town of York has had difficulty finding residents from the York Beach geographical area to serve on the appeals board and the planning board; and
Whereas,  this continued vacancy is a barrier to the ability of the appeals board and the planning board to conduct the business of the Town of York; and
Whereas,  other residents in the Town of York are interested in serving on these boards; 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,
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1.  P&SL 1977, c. 62, §10  is repealed.
Emergency clause.  In view of the emergency cited in the preamble, this legislation takes effect when approved.
 
Effective 90 days following adjournment of the 129th Legislature, First Regular Session, unless otherwise indicated.
