The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 143-10.1A reads as rewritten:
"§ 143-10.1A.  Same – Continuation and expansion costs.
(a)	Effective July 1, 1991, the Office of State Budget and Management and the Director of the Budget, with the advice of the Advisory Budget Commission, shall prepare the State budget in a format that adequately and fairly reflects the continuation costs for the State's share of locally operated programs established by statute or State appropriation.  These continuation costs shall be computed using the same budget preparation guidelines and rules prepared by the Office of State Budget and Management for use in State agency and institution budgets.  Furthermore, in the projections for the expansion costs related to employee compensation, the budget shall include the expansion costs necessary to cover the State's share of salary and salary-related items for employees in locally operated State-funded programs.  Local governments or organizations spending State funds to operate local programs shall provide necessary information to the Office of State Budget and Management to establish the necessary continuation and expansion costs. 
(b)	Based on the projections prepared in accordance with subsection (a) of this section, the General Assembly shall appropriate funds to local governments or organizations spending State funds to operate local programs sufficient to cover the expansion costs related to the State share of employee compensation for employees in locally operated State-funded programs."
