AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT PERSONS WHO DERIVE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THEIR INCOME FROM DEVELOPMENT-RELATED BUSINESS ACTIVITIES MAY NOT BE APPOINTED AS AT-LARGE MEMBERS OF THE COASTAL RESOURCES COMMISSION.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 113A-104(c) reads as rewritten:
"¨(c)	Appointment of Members. – Appointments to the Commission shall be made to provide knowledge and experience in a diverse range of coastal interests.  The members of the Commission shall serve and act on the Commission solely for the best interests of the public and public trust, and shall bring their particular knowledge and experience to the Commission for that end alone.
The Governor shall appoint in his sole discretion those members of the Commission whose qualifications are described in subdivisions (6)	and (10), and one of the three members described in subdivision (12) of subsection (b) of this section. 
The remaining members of the Commission shall be appointed by the Governor after completion of the nominating procedures prescribed by subsection (d)	of this section.  The members of the Commission whose qualifications are described in subdivisions (1) through (5), (9), (11), and (12), shall be persons who do not derive any significant portion of their income from land development, construction, real estate sales, or lobbying and do not otherwise serve as agents for development-related business activities.  The Governor shall require adequate disclosure of potential conflicts of interest by members.  The Governor, by executive order, shall promulgate criteria regarding conflicts of interest and disclosure thereof for determining the eligibility of persons under this section."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification and applies to appointments of at-large members made on or after that date.
