AN ACT TO INCREASE REPRESENTATION ON THE APPRENTICESHIP COUNCIL.

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1.  The first paragraph of G.S. 94-2, as it appears in Volume 2C of the General Statutes of North Carolina, is hereby rewritten to read as follows:

"§ 94-2.  Apprenticeship Council. — The Commissioner of Labor shall appoint an Apprenticeship Council composed of four representatives each from employer and employee organizations respectively and three representatives from the public at large. One State official designated by the Department of Public Instruction and one State official designated by the Department of Community Colleges shall be a member ex officio of said council, without vote. The terms of office of the members of the Apprenticeship Council first appointed by the Commissioner of Labor shall expire as designated by the commissioner at the time of making the appointment: two representatives each of employers and employees, being appointed for one year and one representative of the public at large being appointed for two years; and one representative each of employers, employees, and the public at large being appointed for a term of three years. Any member appointed to fill a vacancy occurring prior to the expiration of the term of his predecessor shall be appointed for the remainder of said term. Each member of the council not otherwise compensated by public moneys, shall be reimbursed for transportation and shall receive such per diem compensation as is provided generally for boards and commissions under the biennial maintenance appropriation acts for each day spent in attendance at meetings of the Apprenticeship Council. The Commissioner of Labor shall annually appoint one member of the council to act as its chairman."

Sec. 2.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed to obligate the General Assembly to appropriate additional funds to the Department of Labor to implement the provisions of this act.

Sec. 3.  This act shall become effective upon ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 1st day of July, 1977.
