A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO CLARIFY THAT SPECIAL LIBRARY REGISTRATION DEPUTIES NEED NOT RESIDE IN THE COUNTY WHERE THEY REGISTER VOTERS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 163-80(a)(6) reads as rewritten:
"(6)	Local public library employees designated by the governing board of such public library to be appointed by the county board of elections as special library registration deputies.  Appointment of such deputies is mandatory for libraries covered by G.S. 153A-272; appointment is optional for other libraries.  Persons appointed under this subsection shall be given the oath contained in G.S. 163-41(b), and shall be authorized to accept applications to register on those days and during those hours said special deputies are on duty with their respective libraries.  If, for good and valid reasons, the local public library director shall request that the county board of elections appoint 'replacement' special library registration deputies before the two-year term ends, the county board of elections shall do so.  To serve as a special library registration deputy and accept applications to register in a county under this subdivision, a library employee need not reside in that county."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
