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 to any public or private entity, which is authorized to receive appropriations from a city or county, surplus automobiles without compensation or without the requirement that the automobiles be used for a public purpose.  Provided, however, this conveyance is conditioned upon conveyance by the public or private entity to Work First participants selected by the county department of social services.  This subsequent conveyance by the public or private entity to the Work First participant shall be without compensation, except that the participant may be required to pay for license, tag, and or title."
Section 2.  This act applies to Mecklenburg County and Forsyth County only.
Section 3.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
