No State fiscal impact 
Increasing the 2009 State valuation for Topsham will not impact the total state and local cost of K-12 public education 
or the State's share of that cost. However, it could affect the distribution of state subsidy in fiscal year 2010-11. The 
impact to individual school administrative units can not be determined at this time. 
Similarly, while there will be no change to total Municipal Revenue Sharing paid out, the bill would affect the 
distribution of it in 2010-11. The impact to municipalities can not be dete·rmined at this time.

Emergency preamble. Whereas, acts and resolves of the Legislature do not 
qecome effective until 90 days after adjournment unless .enacted as emergencies; and

portion of· the Sagadahoc. County tax for 2009-2010 and the School Administrative 
District 75 school budget for 2010-2011, which would require surrounding municipalities 
in Sagadahoc County and School Administrative District 75 to pay more than their 
equitable share; and 
Whereas, this correction needs to be done before Sagadahoc County determines the 
2009-2010 town assessments; and 
.14 
Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create an emergency within 
the meaning of· the Constitution o( Maine· and require the following legislation· as
