NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY

1961 SESSION

 

 

CHAPTER 276

HOUSE BILL 204

 

 

AN ACT TO EXTEND THE VEHICLE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ACT OF 1957.

 

WHEREAS, it now appears that although The Vehicle Financial Responsibility Act of 1957 should be extended beyond its present terminal date of May 15, 1961, there are certain proposed amendments thereto now pending or expected to be introduced in this Session of the General Assembly of North Carolina; and

WHEREAS, proper and deliberate consideration of such proposed amendments would be impeded by the possibility of The Vehicle Financial Responsibility Act becoming null and void in the midst of such consideration; and

WHEREAS, it would appear fit and proper that the General Assembly of North Carolina now act to extend the effectiveness of The Vehicle Financial Responsibility Act of 1957, as now written, leaving such amendments thereto as may be the General Assembly's pleasure to further future deliberation: Now, therefore,

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

 

Section 1.  G.S. 20‑319, as the same appears in the 1959 Cumulative Supplement to the General Statutes, is hereby amended by changing the comma (,) following the date "1958" in line 2 thereof to a period (.) and striking out all of the rest of that Section.

Sec. 2.  It is the intent of this Act that The Vehicle Financial Responsibility Act of 1957, being Article 13 of Chapter 20 of the General Statutes, be and continue in effect from and after May 15, 1961, the date following which it would otherwise become null and void by virtue of Section 12 of Chapter 1393 of the Session Laws of 1957.

Sec. 3.  All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Sec. 4.  This Act shall be in full force and effect from and after its ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 25th day of April, 1961.
