A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR THE FAYETTEVILLE REGIONAL COMMUNITY CENTER FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED.
Whereas, the North Carolina Council for the Hearing Impaired was established to advocate for the provision of essential health, social, legal, medical, educational, and other public services through a program of regional community service centers; and
Whereas, the Raleigh Regional Community Service Center for the Hearing Impaired, presently serving 19 counties in the south central region, is unable to meet the community service needs of the many deaf persons residing in the southern part of this region due to long distances and widely dispersed population centers; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Human Resources, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services $89,287 for the 1989-90 fiscal year, and $80,519 for the 1990-91 fiscal year, to establish and operate the Fayetteville Regional Community Service Center for the Hearing Impaired.  The Center will be located in Fayetteville and will serve an eleven county area surrounding and including Cumberland County, with a hearing impaired population of approximately 49,611 persons.
Sec. 2. This act shall become effective July 1, 1989.
