A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROHIBIT THE USE OF STATE FUNDS FOR NEW SCHOOLS WITH FLAT ROOFS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 115C-521 is amended by adding a new subsection to read:
"( c2)	Funds loaned or granted by the State to any local government, including sales and use tax funds earmarked for school capital outlay purposes, shall not be used to erect any school building with a roof pitch of less than a two-inch rise per twelve inches:  Provided, however, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction may authorize the use of State funds for the erection of a school building with a roof with a pitch that is less if he finds that local conditions warrant such a roof.  The State Superintendent shall report the reasons for his finding to the State Board of Education."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification and applies only to new school buildings for which plans were not submitted to the State Superintendent for approval pursuant to G.S. 115C-521(c) prior to the effective date of this act.
