Congress of law specifying what documentation constitutes valid evidence for purposes of establishing legal presence. 
This date is unknown, but is assumed to be sometime after the end of fiscal year 2008-09, eliminating the budgeted 
Highway Fund revenue of $3,051,375, and eliminates the Highway Fund allocation of $1,528,944 in fiscal year 2008-

point in time.

This amendment provides that possession of a valid driver's license for 20 or more consecutive years constitutes valid 
documentary evidence of legal presence. It is assumed that these individuals, under this legislation, would not need to 
visit a branch office to show such documentation. Therefore, the fiscal year 2008-09 allocation could be reduced by 
$719,174 as a result of decreased traffic through the branch offices.

An Act To Amend School Funding Laws
Maine Legislature, Session 123, LD 2314
House Amendment HA_C_H1021 (House)

HOUSE AMENDMENT "0" to H.P. 1675, L.D. 2314, Bill, "An Act To Amend 
School Funding Laws" 
Amend the bill by inserting after section 7 the following: 
'Sec. 8. Formation of regional school unit by School Union 60 and School 
Administrative District No. 12. Notwithstanding the minimum regional school unit 
size requirements of the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 20-A, section 1461, subsection 3, 
paragraph B, School Union 60 and School Administrative District No. 12 are authorized 
to submit a reorganization plan for consolidation into a regional school unit to the 
Commissioner of Education. The commissioner may not disapprove the plan on the basis 
of the size of the proposed school unit.' 
Amend the bill by relettering or renumbering any nonconsecutive Part letter or 
section number to read consecutively. 
SUMMARY 
This amendment provides an exception to the minimum regional school unit size 
requirements for School Union 60 and School Administrative District No. 12 to allow 
them to submit a plan for reorganization as a regional school unit due to their geographic 
isolation and the low population density of northern Piscataquis and Somerset counties. 
The Commissioner of Education may not disapprove the plan solely because it fails to 
meet the minimum size requirements.

C. The primary location of filming occurs in a rural area in western Maine. 
2. 
Amount of reimbursement. 
A media production company eligible for 
reimbursement under subsection 1 is allowed reimbursement equal to 20% of the 
expenditures of the media production company that are related to the media production in 
this State but no more than $800,000. Reimbursement under this section is in addition to 
any other reimbursement or tax credits to which the media production company is 
entitled. 
3. Procedure for reimbursement. By July 1,2010 a media production company 
shall report to the State Tax Assessor and to the Department of Economic and

The assessor shall report to the

entitled. The commissioner shall pay the amounts to the certified media production 
company in 4 equal annual installments beginning in July 2010 and in July of each of the 
following 3 years.

As amended, this bill authorizes certificates for up to $80,000,000 in refundable tax credits with a limit of 
$10,000,000 in any calendar year. It is unlikely that these credits will result in any revenue loss during the 2008-2009 
biennium. The actual General Fund revenue loss associated with these credits in anyone fiscal year can not be 
determined at this time. The maximum potential General Fund revenue loss in any fiscal year is capped at 
$18,960,000. The total General Fund liability over the life of the fund is capped at $75,840,000. This bill may also 
increase General Fund revenue by an undeterminable amount since any net assets of the fund remaining after the 
payment of all obligations must be deposited into the General Fund. 
As amended, additional costs to the Small Enterprise Growth Board associated with the initial start-up costs of the 
Maine Fund of Funds must be absorbed within existing resources. Because this legislation authorizes the Board to 
utilize funds within the Fund of Funds for the costs and expenses of maintaining, administering and servicing the 
Fund, no General Fund appropriations will be required.
