GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA

SESSION 2011

SESSION LAW 2011-17

SENATE BILL 81

AN ACT to repeal a local act concerning financial disclosure by members of the board of commissioners of orange county since a general law now provides for an ethics policy.

Whereas, pursuant to the mandate of G.S. 160A-86 requiring local governing boards adopt a Code of Ethics by December 31, 2010, the Orange County Board of Commissioners adopted a Code of Ethics on June 1, 2010; and

Whereas, included in the adopted Code of Ethics are disclosure requirements for the Orange County Commissioners substantially similar to those mandated by Chapter 460 of the 1987 Session Laws; and

Whereas, it is unduly burdensome to Orange County to be the sole county subject to disclosure requirements both pursuant to a local act and general law; Now, therefore,

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

SECTION 1.  Title VII of Chapter 460 of the 1987 Session Laws, being Sections 19 through 26 of that act, is repealed.

SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 31^st day of March, 2011.
