A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO ALLOW SAMPSON COUNTY TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY FOR USE BY SAMPSON COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND TO AUTHORIZE THE SAMPSON COMMUNITY COLLEGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO CONVEY PROPERTY TO THE COUNTY IN CONNECTION WITH IMPROVEMENT AND REPAIR OF THE PROPERTY.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 153A-158 reads as rewritten:
"§ 153A-158.  Power to acquire property.
A county may acquire, by gift, grant, devise, bequest, exchange, purchase, lease, or any other lawful method, the fee or any lesser interest in real or personal property for use by the county or any department, board, commission, or agency of the county or a community college within the county.  In exercising the power of eminent domain a county shall use the procedures of Chapter 40A.
The county shall use its authority under this section to acquire the fee or any lesser interest in real or personal property for use by a community college within the county only upon request of the board of trustees of the community college and after a public hearing by the board of county commissioners.  A notice of the public hearing shall be published at least once at least 10 days before the date fixed for the hearing."
Sec. 2.  Notwithstanding the provisions of G.S. 115D-15 and G.S. 160A-274, the board of trustees of a community college may lease or sell any of its property to the county in which the property is located for any price negotiated between the two boards, subject to prior approval by the State Board of Community Colleges.  A community college may lease or sell property pursuant to this section only in connection with additions, improvements, renovations, or repairs to all or part of the property.
Sec. 3.  This act applies only to Sampson County.
Sec. 4.  This act is effective upon ratification.
