Fiscal Note 
Potential future biennium revenue decrease - General Fund 
Potential future biennium revenue decrease - Local Government Fund 
The bill makes changes to certain criteria used to qualify employees as Pine Tree Development Zone employees. 
Language in the bill requires income on a calendar year basis to be greater than income for the average weekly wage. 
Since annual income will always be greater than weekly income the new criteria for income does not eliminate anyone 
and would essentially remove the income requirements for certification and employee tax increment financing. This 
expansion of eligibility for certain Pine Tree Development Zone benefits could substantially decrease General Fund 
and Local Government Fund revenue beginning in fiscal year 2017-18. An estimate has not been made at this time.

An Act To Implement the Recommendations of the Government 
Oversight Committee To Ensure Legislative Review of Reports 
Submitted by Quasi-independent State Agencies 
Reported by Representative KRUGER of Thomaston for the Government Oversight 
Committee pursuant to the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 3, section 997, subsection 2. 
Reference to the Committee on State and Local Government suggested and ordered printed 
pursuant to Joint Rule 218. 
ROBERT B. HUNT 
Clerk 
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: 
Sec. 1.  5 MRSA §12023, sub-§3 is enacted to read: 
3.  Committee review and report. By March 1st of every second regular session, 
beginning in 2016, a joint standing committee of the Legislature receiving reports 
pursuant to subsection 2 shall review the reports received within the past 2 calendar 
years, and gather additional information as necessary from the submitting entities, to 
assess whether policies and procedures adopted by a governing body in accordance with 
section 12022, subsections 3 to 5 are consistent with expectations established in those 
subsections and whether all reported waivers of competitive procurement and reported 
contributions made are in compliance with the adopted policies and procedures, including 
proper justification and documentation. The joint standing committee shall report the 
results of its review, including any areas that should be reviewed in more depth, to the 
joint legislative committee established to oversee program evaluation and government 
accountability matters. 
SUMMARY 
This bill seeks to enhance legislative oversight of quasi-independent state entities by 
ensuring that joint standing committees of jurisdiction are monitoring the entities' 
compliance with requirements in the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 5, sections 12022 and

statutory requirements address expectations for quasi-independent state entities with

and sponsorships and travel, meal and entertainment expenses.  This bill provides for 
review of those reports by those committees and their communicating to the Government 
Oversight Committee the results of the reviews and areas identified that should be 
reviewed in more depth.
