A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE THE MUNICIPALITIES IN WAKE COUNTY TO NAME AND RENAME STREETS IN THEIR EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 153A-240 is amended by adding the following at the end:  "Provided, however, that upon adoption of an ordinance by a city to provide for the assumption by the city of the power of naming and renaming roads within that city's area of extraterritorial jurisdiction, the city may take any action provided by this section as to roads in that area, and the county shall have no jurisdiction under this section in that area.  If a city shall adopt such an ordinance, it shall assume all responsibility that the county may have had for maintaining and replacing all street name signs in that area.  Prior to taking any action under G.S. 153A-240 in that area, the city shall notify the board of county commissioners of the proposed action so that the county may review such proposed action and comment on it."
Sec. 2.  This act applies to all incorporated municipalities in Wake County.
Sec. 3.  This act is effective upon ratification.
