Correctional and Judicial Impact Statements 
This legislation allows blended sentencing for certain juveniles convicted as adults and sentenced to imprisonment if 
the juvenile has not attained 16 years of age at the time of sentencing. Prior to age 18 the time willibe served in a 
juvenile facility. Once the juvenile reaches 18 the remaining time will be served at an adult correctional facility. A 
juvenile facility costs $343.37 per day more than an adult facility, or $125,330 more per year. This type of sentence 
occurs once every two years which implies an annualized cost of $62,665 to the system if, on average, an offender 
turns 17 at the time the sentence begins.

HOUSE AMENDMENT ",4-" to COMMITTEE AMENDMENT "A" to H.P. 1338,

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 Maine Law Court issued an opinion known as Stevenson v. Town of 
Kennebunk on April 26, 2007; and 
Whereas, the Stevenson decision jeopardizes the ability of a governmental board to 
take any action when there is a vacancy on that board; and 
Whereas, the Stevenson decision disrupts the ability of boards to continue operating 
as they have for years; 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. 30-A MRSA §2602, sub-§7 is enacted to read: 
7. Authority to act. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, a vacancy on a 
municipal board or committee does not impair the authority of the remaining members to 
act unless a municipal charter or ordinance expressly prohibits the board or committee 
from acting. 
Sec. 2. Retroactivity. This Act applies retroactively to April2S, 2007. 
Emergency clause. 
In view of the emergency cited in the preamble, this 
legislation takes effect when approved. 
SUMMARY 
This bill overturns the portion of the Law Court decision in Stevenson v. Town of 
Kennebunk that held that a municipal board was not authorized to take any action 
because there was a vacancy on the board. 
The Law Court held that a charter or 
ordinance must specifically authorize a board to act in the event of a vacancy. This bill 
requires a charter or ordinance to specifically prohibit a municipal board or committee 
from acting in the event of a vacancy in order to have that effect. 
The bill is an emergency and applies retroactively to the date of the decision.

municipal revenue sharing under the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 30-A, section 5681 
and essential programs and services funding under Title 20-A, chapter 606-B, the State 
Tax Assessor shall recertify the Town of Boothbay Harbor's 2007 state valuation to 
reflect only 40% of the total valuation of Isle of Springs Corporation and Bayville Village 
Corporation. For 2008 and subsequent years, the State Tax Assessor shall reflect only 
40% of the total valuation of Isle of Springs Corporation and Bayville Village 
Corporation in Boothbay Harbor's state valuation. This adjustment is consistent with the 
provisions of Private and Special Law 1903, chapter 143, section 3 and Private and

House Amendment HA_B_H575 (House)

HOUSE AMENDMENT" B" to H.P. 1362, L.D. 1925, Bill, "An Act To Cut Taxes 
on Maine Residents by over $140,000,000" 
Amend the bill in Part F by striking out all of section 5 (page 36, lines 3 to 12 in 
L.D.) 
Amend the bill in Part F in section 6 in subsection 4 by striking out all of the 3rd 
sentence from the end (page 36, lines 31 to 35 in L.D.) and inserting the following: 
'Beginning July 1, 2008, the Treasurer of State shall credit an amount equal to 0.198% of 
the value of each transfer subject to a transfer tax imposed by section 4641-A, subsection 
to the Maine State Housing Authority, which shall deposit the funds in the Housing 
Opportunities for Maine Fund created in Title 30-A. section 4853.' 
Amend the bill by relettering or renumbering any nonconsecutive Part letter or 
section number to read consecutively. 
SUMMARY 
This amendment removes language from the bill that would have limited the amount 
of real estate transfer tax retained by the county to 10% of the first 0.44% of the value of 
each transfer. This amendment retains current law, under which the county retains 10% 
of the entire real estate transfer tax collected, and adjusts the distribution fonnula to 
ensure that the Housing Opportunities for Maine Fund does not receive a reduction in 
funds as a result of the increase in the county's share.
