This bill includes an Other Special Revenue Fund allocation of$I,490,000 and $1,665,000 in fiscal years 2003-04 and 
2004-05 to increase the authorized level of spending of the Workers' Compensation Board as a result of increasing the 
assessment cap. Increasing the workers' compensation assessment will increase the cost to all State government 
agencies for the workers' compensation portion of personal services expense. The fiscal impact on the State's self-
insured program can not be determined at this time and will depend on the actual amount assessed. Based on the 
actual assessment in fiscal year 2003, this proposal may increase costs to the State by $171,712 in fiscal year 2003-04 
and $180,024 in fiscal year 2004-05.

Emergency preamble. Whereas, A.cts of the Legislature do not 
become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted 
as emergencies; and 
Whereas, current law does 
not establish a 
clear set of 
criteria for determining whether a ballot cast in an election is 
properly disputable; and 
Whereas, the 
law is unclear as to the public status of 
ballots cast at an election; and 
Whereas, this ambiguity deprives the public of the ability 
to inspect ballots that are disputed; and 
Whereas, establishing the public status of disputed ballots 
would compel accountability during the recount process, since the 
reason for the dispute could be seen by members of the public; and 
Whereas, making the election process more accountable is an 
imperative requirement; 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. 21-A MRSA §739, as amended by PL 1993, c. 473, §33 
and affected by §46, is further amended to read: 
§739. 
Ballots and incoming voting lists available for inspection 
On request, a municipal clerk or the Secretary of State, or 
both, shall produce any ballots or incoming voting lists in their 
custody before the Governor, either branch of the Legislature, 
any legislative committee or a court of competent jurisdiction. 
If there are disputed ballots arising from a recount conducted 
pursuant to section 737 -A.,
