A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR A STUDY OF THE IMPLICATION OF THE STATE HAVING RAISED THE MINIMUM SALARY FOR COUNTY SUPERVISORS OF ELECTIONS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  The General Assembly in S.L. 1999-426 raised the minimum salary of county supervisors of elections.  This action is viewed by many as an unfunded mandate of local governments, who are required to pay the salary.  The act placed a much greater burden on smaller counties and those with less financial resources.
Section 2.  The Legislative Research Commission shall study the issue of minimum salaries of county supervisors of elections, and shall specifically examine whether to recommend that the State assume funding for such positions as has been done for clerks of court.
Section 3. This act is effective when it becomes law.
