Bill > H309

This bill makes various local provisions and modifications across several North Carolina counties and municipalities. It establishes a Transylvania Rural Development Authority with nine members appointed by the Transylvania Economic Alliance, with specific provisions for membership, organization, and governance. The bill revises the Charter of the Town of Boiling Springs, changing its government structure to a council-manager form and specifying election processes. It temporarily modifies the distribution and use of local sales and use tax in Buncombe County, allowing 100% of the revenue to be distributed using the ad valorem method, with 50% allocated to school capital outlay and operating expenses and 50% for other public purposes. The bill allows Mitchell and Yancey County Sheriff's Offices to enter cross-state memorandums of understanding with Unicoi County, Tennessee, for law enforcement operations. It also changes the election process for several county boards of education, including Columbus, Gaston, Scotland, and Johnston Counties, making their board elections partisan instead of nonpartisan and establishing specific residency and nomination requirements. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for property conveyances in Mooresville and Wilmington and allows Onslow County to delegate rezoning authority to its planning board.
