Whereas, the State Games of North Carolina is a festival of amateur sports for all North Carolinians - regardless of age or skill level - including those who are physically disabled; and
Whereas, the State Games is an activity which promotes fitness, fun and recreation for North Carolina's citizens; and
Whereas, the State Games emphasize participation by as many State residents as possible and serve as a catalyst for drawing persons from across the State together in a common cause; and
Whereas, the State Games promote amateur sports, support the United States Olympic movement, and provide outstanding family fun and entertainment; and
Whereas, a significant portion of the State Games competition will be hosted in a number of local communities throughout the State, making the State Games as convenient as possible to the largest number of North Carolina residents; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.
