A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR A FEE TO BE PAID TO COMMISSION CONTRACTOR FOR COLLECTION OF THE TITLE TRANSFER TAX.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 20-63(h) reads as rewritten:
"(h)	Commission Contracts for Issuance of Plates and Certificates.  – All registration plates, registration certificates and certificates of title issued by the Division, outside of those issued from the Raleigh offices of the said Division and those issued and handled through the United States mail, shall be issued insofar as practicable and possible through commission contracts entered into by the Division for the issuance of such plates and certificates in localities throughout North Carolina with persons, firms, corporations or governmental subdivisions of the State of North Carolina and the Division shall make a reasonable effort in every locality, except as hereinbefore noted, to enter into a commission contract for the issuance of such plates and certificates and a record of these efforts shall be maintained in the Division. In the event the Division is unsuccessful in making commission contracts as hereinbefore set out it shall then issue said plates and certificates through the regular employees of the Division. Whenever registration plates, registration certificates and certificates of title are issued by the Division through commission contract arrangements, the Division shall provide proper supervision of such distribution. Commission contracts entered under this subsection shall provide for the payment of compensation at a rate of sixty cents (60¢) per transaction. Provided, the contracts shall also provide for an additional payment of one dollar and twenty-five cents ($1.25) per transaction involving the collection of the title transfer tax.  Nothing contained in this subsection will allow or permit the operation of fewer outlets in any  county in this State than are now being operated."
Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective July 1, 1989.
