Emergency preamble. Whereas, acts and resolves of the Legislature do not 
become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as emergencies; and 
Whereas, the 90-day period may not terminate until after the beginning of the next 
fiscal year; and 
Whereas, certain obligations and expenses incident to the operation of state 
departments and institutions will become due and payable immediately; 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: 
PART A 
Sec. A-I. Supplemental allocations. There are allocated from various funds for 
the fiscal years ending June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009, to the departments listed, the 
following sums. 
ADMINISTRATIVE AND FINANCIAL SERVICES, DEPARTMENT OF 
Buildings and Grounds Operations 0080

transferred from the Bureau of General Services, Buildings and Grounds Operations 
account in the Highway Fund to the same program account in the General Fund in Public

Fund but not the Highway Fund for these 2 positions.

Initiative: Provides funding to offset the deallocatioil made in Public Law 2007, chapter 
329, Part C, section 2 to the statewide account for health insurance. The savings in health 
insurance will not be achieved through a rate reduction but through a transfer from the 
Accident, Sickness and Health Insurance Internal Service Fund to the unallocated surplus 
of the Highway Fund.

Initiative: Provides funding to correct the deallocation in the Highway Fund Salary Plan 
program that was made in error in Public Law 2007, chapter 452. The intent of the 
legislation was to allocate funds to cover the additional costs of health insurance to the 
State resulting from the requirement to provide coverage for hearing aids for persons 18 
years of age and under. This request is offset by the lapsing of $6,000 from the Highway 
Fund Salary Plan program, as reflected in Part F of this Act.
