A SENATE RESOLUTION EXPRESSING THE WILL OF THE SENATE TO REMAIN IN SESSION AND CONTINUE TO WORK WITHOUT A PER DIEM EXPENSE ALLOWANCE UNTIL A RESPONSIBLE BUDGET AGREEMENT IS REACHED.
Whereas, it is the duty and responsibility of the duly elected members of the General Assembly to provide for the needs and allocate the resources of the State of North Carolina; and
Whereas, progress is being made in negotiating a budget between the House and Senate, but a final agreement has not yet been reached; and
Whereas, there are critical issues, such as providing adequate resources to support the increased Average Daily Membership in our public schools, addressing school bonds, ensuring school safety, protecting the purity of our waters, reducing taxes for families and businesses, and building and staffing State prisons, which must be resolved in the best interests of the people of North Carolina; 
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Senate:
Section 1.  The Senate of North Carolina is prepared to remain in Session and continue to work, and to waive its per diem expense allowance, until a responsible budget agreement has been reached.
Sec. 2.  This resolution is effective upon adoption.
