become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted 
as emergencies; and 
Whereas, current 
law 
requires 
that 
a 
majority 
of 
the 
membership determine by a vote whether smoking may be allowed in 
private clubs; and 
Whereas, current 
law could be 
interpreted to 
mean 
that 
nonvoting members should be counted as having voted no; and 
Whereas, this legislation is an emergency because the law 
needs to be clarified so that when a vote is taken, the club will 
know how to count the votes; 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

as 
immediately 
necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and

amended the bill would provide a FY 2006-07 General Fund appropriation of $50,000 for the Department of Health

combined with federal Medicaid matching funds, would fund an increase in the wheelchair van service base rate per 
trip from $14.62 to approximately $15.00 per trip and the mileage rate from $1.65 to approximately $1.80 per mile.
