A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO IMPLEMENT A RECOMMENDATION OF THE GOVERNMENT PERFORMANCE AUDIT COMMITTEE TO ELIMINATE NINETEEN DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE FIELD OFFICES AND EIGHT SUBOFFICES.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  The General Assembly finds that the Department of Revenue has more permanent field offices and suboffices than other states and that overall revenue collections would increase if some of the less efficient permanent field offices were eliminated.
Sec. 2.  The Department of Revenue shall eliminate the 19 permanent field offices that are within 45 miles of another field office and have average collections of less than three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) a year.  The Department of Revenue shall also eliminate the eight suboffices that do not have free office space.  The Department of Revenue shall reassign the revenue officers of the eliminated offices to existing offices that have the potential for higher collections and shall acquire rental office space at these existing offices as necessary.
Sec. 3.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1993.
