A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT AN ENTERPRISE TIER TWO AREA MAY NOT BE REDESIGNATED AS A HIGHER-NUMBERED TIER AREA UNTIL IT HAS BEEN AN ENTERPRISE TIER TWO AREA FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE YEARS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 105-129.3(c) reads as rewritten:
"(c)	Exception for Enterprise Tier One and Two Areas. – Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, a county designated as an enterprise tier one area or an enterprise tier two area may not be redesignated as a higher-numbered enterprise tier area until it has been in its enterprise tier area for at least two consecutive years."
Section 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law and, notwithstanding G.S. 105-129.3(b), applies retroactively to designations for the 2000 and later calendar years.
