CHAPTER 310
HOUSE BILL 893

AN ACT TO ALLOW SANITARY DISTRICT ELECTIONS TO BE HELD IN EVEN-NUMBERED YEARS IN COUNTIES WHICH HAVE NO INCORPORATED MUNICIPALITIES, AND WHERE THE SANITARY DISTRICT BOARD SERVES FOUR-YEAR UNSTAGGERED TERMS.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  G.S. 130A-50 is amended by adding a new subsection to read:
"(b2)	If a sanitary district:
(1)	Is located entirely within a county which has no incorporated city as defined by G.S. 160A-1(2) located within that county; and
(2)	Has a sanitary district board whose members serve four-year terms which are not staggered and which next expire in 1991,
the board of commissioners of that county may, by resolution adopted prior to December 31, 1989, set the sanitary district election to be held on the same date as general elections in even-numbered years under G.S. 163-1.  Such resolution shall extend the terms of office of the then serving members of the sanitary district board by one year, so that they will expire on the first Monday in December following the 1992 general election.  Other than as provided by this subsection, sanitary district elections shall continue to be conducted in accordance with this Article and Chapter 163 of the General Statutes."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 13th day of June, 1989.
