Bill > H331

This bill designates the North Carolina Rice Festival, which is held annually during the first weekend in March at the Brunswick Town State Historic Site in Winnabow, as the official rice festival of the state of North Carolina. By adding a new section (§ 145-52) to Chapter 145 of the General Statutes, the bill formally recognizes this specific cultural event and gives it official state status. The festival's location at the Brunswick Town State Historic Site suggests it has historical significance, likely related to the region's agricultural heritage and rice cultivation. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, which means it will create an official state designation for this local festival without any delay or additional implementation steps.
