A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE MULTIFLORA ROSE RESEARCH AND EXTENSION PROGRAM AT NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY, COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND LIFE SCIENCES.
Whereas, multiflora rose is a serious problem in noncropland habitats in Western North Carolina; and
Whereas, rose bushes growing on rights-of-ways and other noncropland areas block visibility, inhibit inspection and maintenance activities, and encroach into adjacent pastures and croplands; and
Whereas, North Carolina State University has an existing faculty position that provides leadership for developing management programs to assist in controlling this plant pest; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Board of Governors of The University of North Carolina the sum of thirty-two thousand seven hundred twenty-six dollars ($32,726) for the 1989-90 fiscal year and the sum of thirty-two thousand seven hundred twenty-six dollars ($32,726) for the 1990-91 fiscal year to provide technical assistance, supplies and travel to conduct a field-oriented research and extension program to aid in managing multiflora rose.
Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective July 1, 1989.
