A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to abolish the commission on state property and to terminate its contract.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  Article 78 of Chapter 143 of the General Statutes is repealed, and the Commission on State Property is abolished.
SECTION 2.  The contract, entered into by the Commission on January 15, 2007, for technical or professional services, is terminated in accordance with paragraph 13 of the contract, as of the effective date of this act. This act shall constitute written notice to the contractor.
SECTION 3.  The elimination of any employee positions in the Commission on State Property required by this act shall be deemed an economy in the State Budget, and any employee affected shall be entitled to benefits pursuant to G.S. 143‑27.2.
SECTION 4.  No finding or determination by the Commission before the effective date of this act that a property is or should be surplus is binding on the Department of Administration, nor is any selection by the Commission of any person, firm, or corporation to provide brokerage services with respect to any property. The determinations that any property is surplus, that there is a need for brokerage services, and the selection of a provider for any such needed services are in the sole discretion of the Department of Administration.
SECTION 5.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
