Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
Section 1. If the 1989 Regular Session of the General Assembly adjourns in 1989 to a date certain in 1990, then after reconvening in 1990, only the following matters may be considered:
(1)	Bills directly affecting the State budget for fiscal year 1990-91, provided that no appropriations bill may be filed for introduction in the Senate or introduced in the House after the eleventh day of the reconvened session, provided further that no member may introduce more than five appropriations bills under the provisions of this subdivision.
(2)	Bills introduced in 1989 and favorably acted upon in both houses, but still in committee on conference or where the committee of conference has reported but the conference report has not been rejected.
(3)	Bills implementing the recommendations of committees created under Section 3 of this resolution which are authorized or directed to report to the 1990 Session, except that no constitutional amendment so recommended shall be considered; provided that any bills authorized by this subdivision must be filed for introduction no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Wednesday after the 1990 Session convenes.
(4)	Any local bill filed for introduction by 5:00 p.m., on the Wednesday after the 1990 Session convenes and accompanied by a certificate signed by the principal sponsor stating that no public hearing will be required or asked for by a member on the bill, the bill is noncontroversial, and the bill is approved for introduction by each member of the Senate and House whose district includes the local area to which the bill applies.
(5)	Selection or confirmation of members of State boards and commissions as required by law, including the filling of vacancies of positions for which the appointees were elected by the General Assembly upon recommendation of the President of the Senate, President Pro Tempore of the Senate, or Speaker of the House.
(6)	Any bills affecting any State or local pension or retirement system.
(7)	Joint resolutions, House resolutions, and Senate resolutions pertaining to Section 5(10) of Article III of the Constitution of North Carolina.
(9)	A joint resolution adjourning the 1989 Session.
Sec. 2.  If the 1989 Regular Session of the General Assembly adjourns in 1989 to a date certain in 1990, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House may jointly authorize appropriate committees or subcommittees of their respective houses to meet during the interim between sessions to review matters related to the State budget or any other matter as they deem appropriate for the 1990-91 biennium and to prepare reports, including revised budgets, for consideration at the 1990 Session.
Sec. 3.  The Speaker of the House may create a House select committee, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate may create a Senate select committee, or the two of them may jointly create a joint select committee, and authorize or direct that committee to study a matter and make recommendations either to the reconvened 1990 Session of the General Assembly if such session is held, or to the 1991 Regular Session of the General Assembly.
Sec. 4.  This resolution is effective upon ratification.
