A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR THE LAND RECORDS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR MATCHING GRANTS TO COMPLETE MAPPING PROJECTS IN EVERY COUNTY.
Whereas, the North Carolina Land Records Management Program was established by the General Assembly in 1977; and
Whereas, the objective of the program is to map the entire State using established standards; and
Whereas, completed maps can be used for appraisals, planning, police protection, waste management, fire and emergency medical services, water and sewer development, economic development, school districting and bus routing, redistricting, and other purposes; and
Whereas, due to a shortage of funds for mapping grants, many counties have been unable to participate in the mapping program; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Land Resources Division, the sum of two million dollars ($2,000,000) for the 2000-2001 fiscal year to be used for matching grants to counties for the completion of base map projects as provided in G.S. 102-15, 102-16, and 102-17.
Section 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1999.
