A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE COUNTIES THAT HAVE PROTECTED MOUNTAIN RIDGES TO ESTABLISH COUNTY SERVICE DISTRICTS TO PROVIDE FOR CERTAIN ROAD NEEDS OF THE DISTRICT.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 153A-301 is amended by adding a new subsection to read:
"( d)	The board of commissioners of a county that contains a protected mountain ridge, as defined by G.S. 113A-206(6), may define any number of service districts to finance for the district the maintenance of public roads that are located in the district, are not maintained by the Department of Transportation, and were recorded on a plat in the register of deeds office before October 1, 1975.  The General Assembly authorizes these service districts for the counties that have protected mountain ridges because these counties have special problems with maintenance due to steep terrain."
Sec. 2.  G.S. 153A-149(c) is amended by adding a new subdivision to read:
"(28a)	Roads. – To provide for the maintenance of county roads as authorized by G.S. 153A-301(d)."
Sec. 3.  This act is effective upon ratification.
