Bill Summary
AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT VACANCIES ON THE HAYWOOD COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ARE FILLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH G.S. 153A-27; TO PROVIDE FOR THE PARTISAN ELECTION FOR MEMBERS OF THE JACKSON COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION; AND TO PROVIDE THAT THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE SHALL EXERCISE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY ONLY WITHIN THE CITY'S CONTIGUOUS CORPORATE LIMITS.
AI Summary
This bill addresses three distinct local provisions affecting Haywood County, Jackson County, and the City of Jacksonville in North Carolina. First, for Haywood County, the bill modifies existing law to remove Haywood County from a specific list of counties, effectively changing how vacancies on the Board of Commissioners are filled. Second, for Jackson County, the bill changes the Board of Education elections from nonpartisan to partisan, requiring candidates to be residents of the district they seek to represent and to be nominated like other county officers, with elections to be held in even-numbered years and members taking office in December. The bill does not affect the terms of those elected in 2024 and allows the existing board to appoint replacements for any 2024 election vacancies. Finally, the bill limits the City of Jacksonville's planning and development authority to only its contiguous corporate limits, removing its extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) over surrounding areas. Most provisions become effective immediately upon becoming law, with the Jackson County Board of Education changes taking effect in December 2026.
