Sec. 32.  Maine Revised Statutes headnote amended; revision clause.  In 
the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 34-A, chapter 3, subchapter 8, in the subchapter 
headnote, the words "mountain view youth development center" are amended to read 
"mountain view correctional facility" and the Revisor of Statutes shall implement this 
revision when updating, publishing or republishing the statutes. 
Emergency clause.  In view of the emergency cited in the preamble, this 
legislation takes effect when approved. 
SUMMARY 
This bill amends the statutes to reflect that Mountain View Youth Development 
Center is now largely being used to house adult prisoners, though there are still retained 
provisions related to the juvenile detention unit.  It also repeals the provisions related to 
the Charleston Correctional Facility.
