A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT RELATING TO THE EMPLOYMENT PREFERENCE GIVEN BY CATAWBA COUNTY TO VETERANS WHO APPLY FOR COUNTY EMPLOYMENT.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Section 1 of Chapter 631 of the 1945 Session Laws reads as rewritten:
"Section 1.  The Board of County Commissioners of Catawba County is hereby authorized and empowered to employ a county veterans service officer and pay the service officer such salary as the board may consider just and fair and to furnish the service officer the necessary office space, assistants, supplies, and equipment to enable the service officer to perform efficiently the duties of the service officer's employment.  In selecting the service officer and other personnel, preference shall be given to applicants who are eligible veterans as defined by G.S. 128-15(b)(3), in furtherance of the policy of the State that, in appreciation for their service to this State and this country during a period of war, and in recognition of the time and advantage lost toward the pursuit of a civilian career, veterans shall be granted preference in public employment."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
