A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT A NEWLY INCORPORATED MUNICIPALITY MAY WAIVE ITS POWELL BILL FUNDS AND HAVE SECONDARY ROADS THAT WERE ON THE PAVEMENT PRIORITY LIST AND SCHEDULED TO BE PAVED PRIOR TO INCORPORATION PAVED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ACCORDING TO THE PRIORITY LIST.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1. Section 169.1 of Chapter 321 of the 1993 Session Laws reads as rewritten:
"Sec. 169.1.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Department of Transportation shall maintain the streets and highways on the State highway system within municipalities that are not eligible for funds under G.S. 136-41.2.  The Department of Transportation shall maintain the streets and highways as part of the State secondary system, and maintain the paving priority for the secondary roads the same as if the municipality were not incorporated, as long as the ineligibility for funds under G.S. 136-41.2 continues.  The provisions of this section apply only to municipalities incorporated between July 1, 1989, and June 30, 1993, and to any municipality incorporated prior to May 31, 1996, which is eligible for funds under G.S. 136-41.2 but which has not received any funds under G.S. 136-41.1."
Section 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
