AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR FOR EXPANSION OF COMPUTERIZED LINKAGE OF STATEWIDE INFORMATION AND RESOURCE CAPABILITIES.

Whereas, the second phase of the installation and linkage of additional computer systems to complete the statewide network is incomplete; and

Whereas, the completion of these systems will also assist North Carolina employers and employees in their safety and health training, in obtaining up-to-date informational materials, data, and educational resources, and will further assure that the Department's duties are efficiently and effectively carried out; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
