is amended by repealing subparagraph (7-D), division (a) and enacting the following in its 
place:
(a)  One hundred percent of:

began while participating in TANF; or
(ii)  The first 3 months of any increase in earned income received while 
participating in TANF.

Sec. 2.  22 MRSA §3762, sub-§3, ¶B, as corrected by RR 2021, c. 2, Pt. B, §176, 
is amended by repealing subparagraph (7-D), division (b) and enacting the following in its 
place:
(b)  Seventy-five percent of:
(i)  All earned income received for the 4th to 6th months of employment 
that began while participating in TANF; or
(ii)  The 4th to 6th months of any increase in earned income received while 
participating in TANF.
Any month in which the disregard under this division does not increase the 
recipient's benefit above that which the benefit would be if the disregard in 
division (c) is applied does not count as a month in which earned income is 
disregarded under this division;
SUMMARY
This bill amends the provisions of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or 
"TANF," program that relate to income disregards for the purposes of calculating a 
recipient's benefits.  Current law provides that 100% of all earned income for the first 3 
months of employment and 75% of all earned income for the 4th to 6th months of 
employment must be disregarded from recipients' monthly earnings. This bill clarifies that 
this employment must have begun while participating in the TANF program.  It also 
provides that 100% of the first 3 months of increased earned income received while 
participating in TANF and 75% of the 4th to 6th months of increased earned income 
received while participating in TANF are subject to these disregard provisions. The bill 
also makes a clarifying change by replacing the word "it" with "benefit."

Emergency preamble.  Whereas, acts and resolves of the Legislature do not 
become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as emergencies; and
Whereas, the boating season begins in the State prior to the statutory adjournment 
date; and
Whereas, this Act is necessary to protect Maine's water bodies from invasive aquatic 
plants; and
Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create an emergency within 
the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and require the following legislation as 
immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, 
therefore,
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1.  38 MRSA §419-C, sub-§1-A is enacted to read:
1-A.  Draining of vessels and equipment.  When removing a vessel from an inland 
water body and prior to transport away from the area where the vessel left the water, a 
person shall:
A.  Drain the vessel, trailer and other equipment that holds water, including live wells, 
ballast tanks and bilges; and
B.  Remove or open drain plugs, bailers, valves and other devices to drain the water

For the purposes of this subsection, "vessel" has the same meaning as in section 542, 
subsection 11.
Nothing in this subsection allows a person to directly or indirectly discharge pollutants into 
waters of the State.  This subsection does not apply to emergency response vessels and their 
related equipment.
Emergency clause.  In view of the emergency cited in the preamble, this legislation

vessels from these requirements.
