A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO IMPLEMENT THE MIGRANT WORKER HOUSING ACT.
Whereas, the General Assembly is considering a bill known as the Migrant Worker Housing Act of North Carolina; and
Whereas, the major portion of that act will not become effective unless funds are appropriated for implementation; and
Whereas, that act will require each operator of migrant housing to request from the Department of Labor a preoccupancy inspection of the housing; and
Whereas, the Department of Labor is required under that act to conduct any such inspection requested; and
Whereas, the Department currently conducts no preoccupancy inspections and has no funds appropriated for this purpose; and
Whereas, there are approximately 1,000 known migrant camps which will require preoccupancy inspections under that act;  Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Labor two hundred ninety-nine thousand five hundred eight-eight dollars ($299,588) for the 1989-90 fiscal year and five hundred fifty-eight thousand four hundred fifty dollars ($558,450) for the 1990-91 fiscal year to pay the costs for implementation of the Migrant Worker Housing Act of North Carolina.
Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective July 1, 1989.
