A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE COUNTY CONVEYANCE OF SURPLUS AUTOMOBILES TO A NOT-FOR-PROFIT RECIPIENT FOR SUBSEQUENT CONVEYANCE TO WORK FIRST PARTICIPANTS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 160A-279(a) reads as rewritten:
"(a)	Whenever a city or county is authorized to appropriate funds to any public or private entity which carries out a public purpose, the city or county may, in lieu of or in addition to the appropriation of funds, convey by private sale to such an entity any real or personal property which it owns; provided no property acquired by the exercise of eminent domain may be conveyed under this section; provided that no such conveyance may be made to a for-profit corporation.  The city or county shall attach to any such conveyance covenants or conditions which assure that the property will be put to a public use by the recipient entity.  The procedural provisions of G.S. 160A-267 shall apply.  Provided, however, that a city or county may convey surplus automobiles, without compensation, and without imposing covenants or conditions which assure that the recipient entity itself use the automobiles for a public purpose, to any public or private entity that it is authorized to appropriate funds to, for subsequent conveyance by said entity to Work First participants selected by the county department of social services."
Section 2.  This act applies to Mecklenburg County only.
Section 3.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
