The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 115C-325 is amended by adding a new subsection to read:
"( q)	This section does not apply to:
(1)	A teacher employed for the first time as a full-time, permanent teacher in a normal school year in a North Carolina local school administrative unit after the 1992-93 school year;
(2)	A teacher who (i) is employed as a full-time, permanent teacher in a North Carolina local school administrative unit for the 1992-93 school year and (ii) has attained career status in a North Carolina local school administrative unit on or before September 1, 1992, if that teacher accepts a one-time payment during the 1992-93 school year as consideration for waiving all rights under this section;
(3)	A teacher who is employed as a full-time, permanent teacher in a North Carolina local school administrative unit for the 1992-93 school year, if that teacher accepts a one-time payment during the 1992-93 school year as consideration for waiving all rights under this section."
Sec. 2. There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Public Education the sum of ten million dollars ($10,000,000) for the 1992-93 fiscal year to provide a one-time payment to each teacher who agrees during the 1992-93 school year to waive his rights under G.S. 115C-325.  These funds shall be distributed on June 30, 1993, on a pro rata basis, with a maximum of $2,500 per teacher, to all teachers who have agreed prior to May 31, 1993, to accept the payment.
