A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT AUTHORIZING SANITARY DISTRICTS TO PROVIDE STREETS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 130A-55 is amended by adding two new subdivisions to read:
"(23)	To acquire (by purchase, lease, gift, or otherwise), construct, maintain, operate, and regulate roads and streets within the sanitary district.  Not all of these powers need be exercised.
(24)	To contract for security personnel or to provide for law enforcement within the district to the same extent that a city or town is authorized to provide for law enforcement pursuant to Article 13 of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes.  For the purpose of this subdivision, any reference in Article 13 of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes to 'city' is to be interpreted to include a sanitary district."
Sec. 2.  G.S. 130A-55(15) reads as rewritten:
"(15)	To use the income of the district, and if necessary, to levy and collect taxes upon all the taxable property within the district sufficient to pay the costs of collecting and disposing of garbage, waste and other refuse, to provide fire protection and rescue services in the district, to acquire, construct, maintain, operate, and regulate roads and streets within the district, and to provide for law enforcement within the district. Taxes shall be levied and collected at the same time and in the same manner as taxes for debt service as provided in G.S. 130A-62."
Sec. 3.  This act is effective upon ratification.
