FOREWORD

The History and Final Disposition of Legislative Documents includes a summary of the Legislature's action on all legislative documents considered during the Second Regular and Second Special Session of the 118th Legislature.  The Second Regular Session, which convened on January 7, 1998, adjourned on March 31, 1998, and the Second Special Session convened on April 1, 1998 and was adjourned sine die on April 9, 1998.

This document is produced from information which is compiled by the Legislative Information Office throughout the legislative session and maintained on a computerized bill status system. Status information is available through designated public computer terminals located throughout the State House and by remote access on a subscription basis through the Legislature's Information Network (LINK).   This document is also available on the Maine State Legislature's Web Page at www.maine.gov/legis.  Printed reports are available weekly on a subscription basis through the Clerk of the House.

The primary listing of legislative documents in these pages are organized by the joint standing committee to which bills were referred in the Second Regular and Second Special Sessions. Although the majority of bills and resolves were introduced during the Second Regular Session, many were not finally acted on until the Second Special Session. These pages, therefore, are the combined the work of the two sessions; thus, there is a single section for each committee. The following information is included for each legislative document:

• Legislative document number
• House or Senate paper number
• Sponsor and cosponsors
• Public hearing date
• Committee report
• Amendments adopted in the House and Senate
• Final disposition of the legislative document
