A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO AMEND THE COUNTY SERVICE DISTRICTS LAW TO INCLUDE THE MAINTENANCE OF SUBSTANDARD PLATTED ROADS WITHIN THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH A DISTRICT MAY BE ESTABLISHED WITHIN COUNTIES SUBJECT TO THE RIDGE LAW.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 153A-301 is amended by adding new subsections to read:
"( d)	The General Assembly finds that mountain counties have special problems in improving older roads, which do not meet State standards because of the special terrain which dramatically increases cost of road construction and maintenance.
(e)	The board of commissioners of any county which contains a protected mountain ridge, as defined by G.S. 113A-206(6), may define any number of service districts in order to finance, provide, or maintain for the districts those roads shown on a plat of a subdivision or development where such plat has been recorded in the office of the register of deeds of the county, which platted roads are not maintained by the North Carolina Department of Transportation, were platted of record and offered for dedication prior to October 1, 1975, and have not been designated private roads pursuant to G.S. 136-102.6."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
