A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO CLARIFY AN ACT TO ESTABLISH THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE ALAMANCE COUNTY AND BURLINGTON CITY SCHOOL ADMINISTRATIVE UNITS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Section 3 of Chapter 166, Session Laws of 1985, reads as rewritten:
"Sec. 3.  No sooner than nine months and no later than one year after the effective date of any annexation of additional territory to the municipal corporate boundaries of the City of Burlington, the Alamance County Board of Elections shall conduct an election by the duly qualified voters entitled to vote in a general election residing in the newly annexed territory of the City of Burlington to determine whether such territory shall remain as part of the Alamance County School Administrative Unit, or become a part of the Burlington City School Administrative Unit, and the majority of those voting in such election shall determine which administrative unit such territory shall be a part of, effective on the first day of July next following certification of the results of such election.  In case the number of votes shall be equally divided, the territory shall remain in the Alamance County School Administrative Unit.  Provided, however, in the event that there are not at least five voters residing within said annexed territory at the beginning of the period within which such election is to be conducted, then and in that event, the Alamance County Board of Elections shall conduct the election within a three month period after it is brought to the attention of the Alamance County Board of Elections by written petition of a qualified voter residing in such area that at least five qualified voters reside in the newly annexed territory, and provided further that in any event such an election shall not be held unless there are at least five qualified voters residing in the newly annexed area within 42 months of the date of its annexation within the City of Burlington."
Sec. 2.  Except as expressly amended by this act, Chapter 166, Session Laws of 1985, remains in full force and effect.
Sec. 3.  This act applies to all annexations to the City of Burlington occurring on or after September 1, 1988.
