with the powers of municipal officers of towns. A vacancy is filled in the same manner 
for the uneJ(pired teFHl by a special election called by the trustees of the district. The

Fiscal Note 
Clarification of Eligibility for Property Tax Exemption 
At this time, any veteran who has served during Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation 
New Dawn is considered a veteran of a federally recognized war period and is therefore already eligible for certain 
property tax exemptions. This bill specifically adds the 3 military campaigns mentioned above to language in current 
law that defines federally recognized war period. As these veterans were already eligible for certain property tax 
exemptions the bill will have no fiscal impact.

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: 
Sec. 1.  20-A MRSA §8607-A, sub-§10 is enacted to read: 
10.  Career and academic advising and counseling.  Career and academic advising 
and counseling services costs are reimbursed at the rate of 75% of the costs of required 
salaries and fringe benefits for those services. 
SUMMARY 
Currently, career and academic advising and counseling costs incurred by local adult 
education programs are considered administrative costs under the Maine Revised 
Statutes, Title 20-A, section 8607-A, subsection 1 and reimbursed at a rate of 70% of 
those costs.  This bill requires that career and academic advising and counseling costs 
incurred by local adult education programs, because those services are provided directly 
to students, be reimbursed at the rate of 75% of those costs, which is the same as the 
reimbursement rate for courses for students.

Fiscal Detail and Notes 
Changing the reimbursement rate for career and academic advising and counseling costs incurred by local adult 
education programs from 70% to 75% will not impact the amount of funds appropriated for the Adult Education 
program within the Department of Education. However, the change in the reimbursement rate will change the form~ 
in which the funds are distributed to local adult education programs and may result in some programs receiving more 
funding than they would have had this provision not been in place and some programs receiving less.
