AN ACT to modify the composition of the economic development commission for Macon county.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. G.S. 158‑8 reads as rewritten:
"§ 158‑8. Creation of municipal, county or regional commissions authorized; composition; joining or withdrawing from regional commissions.
The governing body of any municipality or the board of county
commissioners of any county may by resolution create an economic development
commission for said municipality or county. The governing bodies of any two or
more municipalities and/or counties may by joint resolution, adopted by
separate vote of each governing body concerned, create a regional economic
development commission. A municipal or county economic development commission
shall consist of from three to nine 12 members, named for terms
and compensation (if any) fixed by its respective governing body. The
membership, compensation (if any), and terms of a regional economic development
commission, and the formula for its financial support, shall be fixed by the
joint resolution creating the commission. Additional governmental units may
join a regional commission with the consent of all existing members. Any
governmental unit may withdraw from a regional commission on two years' notice
to the other members. The resolution creating a municipal, county, or regional
economic development commission may be modified, amended, or repealed in the
same manner as it was originally adopted."
SECTION 2. This act applies to the economic development commission for Macon County only.
SECTION 3. This act is effective when it becomes law.
