A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR METAL DETECTORS FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.(a)	There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Public Instruction the sum of three hundred fifty thousand dollars ($350,000) for the 1999-2000 fiscal year to provide metal detectors for the public schools.  Each local board of education may apply for either a portable walk-through model for the local school administrative unit or a hand-held model for each school in the local school administrative unit.
Section 1.(b) In allocating these funds, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall give highest priority to providing:
(1) 	A portable walk-through model to each local school administrative unit requesting one that does not have one, and
(2) 	A hand-held model for each school for which one is requested and that does not have one.
Section 1.(c)	The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall allocate any remaining funds on a pro rata basis to provide:
(1) 	A portable walk-through model to each local school administrative unit requesting one that already has one, and
(2) 	A hand-held model for each school for which one is requested and that already has one.
Section 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1999.
