Said easement shall prohibit all residential, commercial, and industrial uses in the easement area but shall not limit the State of North Carolina's use of said easement area for agricultural and silvicultural uses, provided said uses are consistent with all laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances governing said uses. There shall be excepted from the above easement area that certain tract or parcel of land consisting of 85 acres more or less and labeled "Proposed NBAF Site" on the above‑described map; provided, however, that if said tract or parcel of land is not selected by the United States Department of Homeland Security for use in connection with the National Bio and Agro‑Defense Facility project (NBAF Project) within five years of the date hereof, said area shall become subject to the terms of the easement to be granted. If no deed is recorded within five years in the Granville County Registry conveying said tract or parcel of land or some part thereof for use in connection with the above‑described project, it shall be conclusively presumed that said tract or parcel of land or part thereof not so conveyed is subject to the terms of the easement herein granted. Said easement also shall grant to the South Granville Water and Sewer Authority and its successors the right to enforce the terms of the easement related to the protection of the public drinking water supply. The Town of Butner shall be allowed the continued use, including the expansion and improvement, of the recreational facilities described in Section 3(b)(89) of this act.
SECTION 3.(e)  The Department of Health and Human Services may contract with the Town of Butner to provide employees, equipment, and material and services for a period not to exceed six months after incorporation and to lease property to the Town of Butner any time after incorporation.

The Secretary may  establish a board to act like a Board of Adjustment to make recommendations to the Secretary concerning implementation of plans for the development of the reservation. When acting as a Board of Adjustment,  that board shall be subject to subsections (b), (c), (d), (f), and (g) of G.S. 160A‑388.

(3)	If additional areas are added to the incorporated limits of the Town of Butner, the payments due under the contract shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount that actually would have been collected from real and personal property ad valorem taxes due January 5 of the year of incorporation of such area if said incorporation occurs on or before May 1 or the amount collected for the preceding year if said incorporation occurs prior to May 1 of the then current year assuming a tax of twenty‑five cents (25¢) per one hundred dollars ($100.00) valuation of all real and personal property in said area and increased yearly as set out above; and

(b)	A county ordinance may apply in part or all of the Camp Butner reservation (other than areas within the Town of Butner) if the Secretary gives written approval of the ordinance, except that ordinances adopted by a county under Article 18 of Chapter 153A of the General Statutes may not apply in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the Town of Butner without approval of the Butner Town Council. The Secretary may withdraw approval of a county ordinance by giving written notification, by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the county. A county ordinance ceases to be effective in the Camp Butner reservation 30 days after the county receives the written notice of the withdrawal of approval. This section does not enhance or diminish the authority of a county to enact ordinances applicable to the Town of Butner and its extraterritorial jurisdiction.
(c)	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, no portion of the lands owned by the State as of September 1, 2007, which are located in the extraterritorial jurisdiction or the incorporated limits of the Town of Butner shall be subject to any of the powers granted to the Town of Butner pursuant to Article 19 of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes except as to property no longer owned by the State.

Before the State shall dispose of any property inside the incorporated limits of the Town of Butner or any of that property currently under the control of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services or the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the Town of Butner, southeast of Old Highway 75, northeast of Central Avenue, southwest of 33rd Street, and northwest of "G" Street, by sale or lease for any use not directly associated with a State function, the Town of Butner shall first be given the right of first refusal to purchase said property at fair market value as determined by the average of the value of said property as determined by a qualified appraiser selected by the Secretary and a qualified appraiser selected by the Town of Butner."

Provided, however, the net proceeds derived from the sale of land or timber from land owned by or under the supervision and control of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services shall be deposited with the State Treasurer in a capital improvement account to the credit of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, to be used for such specific capital improvement projects or other purposes as are provided by transfer of funds from those accounts in the Capital Improvement Appropriations Act. Provided further, the net proceeds derived from the sale of park land owned by or under the supervision and control of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources shall be deposited with the State Treasurer in a capital improvement account to the credit of the Department of Administration to be used for the purpose of park land acquisition as provided by transfer of funds from those accounts in the Capital Improvement Appropriations Act. In the Capital Improvement Appropriations Act, line items for purchase of park and agricultural lands will be established for use by the Departments of Administration and Agriculture. The use of such funds for any specific capital improvement project or land acquisition is subject to approval by the Director of the Budget. No other use may be made of funds in these line items without approval by the General Assembly except for incidental expenses related to the project or land acquisition. Additionally with the approval of the Director of the Budget, either Department may request funds from the Contingency and Emergency Fund when the necessity of prompt purchase of available land can be demonstrated and funds in the capital improvement accounts are insufficient. Provided further, the net proceeds derived from the sale of any portion of the land owned by the State in or around the  Butner Reservation on or after July 1, 1980, shall be deposited with the State Treasurer in a capital improvement account to the credit of the Department of Health and Human Services to make capital improvements on or to property owned by the State in the Butner Reservation subject to approval by the Office of State Budget and Management, and may be used to build industrial access roads to industries located or to be located on the Butner Reservation, to construct new city streets in the Butner Reservation, extend water and sewer service on the Butner Reservation, repair storm drains on the Butner Reservation, and for other capital uses on the Reservation as determined by the Secretary."
SECTION 13.  G.S. 136‑41.1(c) reads as rewritten:
"(c)	Any funds allocated to the unincorporated area known as the Butner Reservation shall be transferred to the Town of Butner."
SECTION 14.  Section 1 of Chapter 830 of the 1983 Session Laws reads as rewritten:
"Section 1.(a) The territorial jurisdiction of the Butner Police and Fire Protection District shall include:  (i) any property formerly a part of the original Camp Butner reservation, including both those areas currently owned and occupied by the State and its agencies and those which may have been leased or otherwise disposed of by the State; (ii) the Lyons Station Sanitary District; and (iii) that part of Granville County adjoining the Butner reservation and the Lyons Station Sanitary District situated north and west of the intersection of Rural Paved Roads 1103 and 1106 and bounded by those roads and the boundaries of said reservation and said sanitary district, provided, however, that those portions of said lands within the corporate limits of the Town of Butner are removed from the Butner Police and Fire Protection District for the purposes hereof."
SECTION 14.1.  Section 1.1 through 14 of this act shall become effective only if the Charter of the Town of Butner is approved under section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965; provided, however, that if the Charter is not approved under section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 because of any provisions contained in Article III or Article IV of the Charter, the Butner Advisory Council established in accordance with G.S. 122C‑413 may make such amendments to the Article III or IV of the Charter as it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to obtain such approval, and such amendments shall be filed in accordance with G.S. 160A‑111. If the Charter is not approved, Sections 1.1 through 14 of this act have no force and effect. If the Charter is approved, then those sections become effective on the first day of the next calendar month that begins more than three days after the approval, except that the persons appointed as temporary officers under Section 3.2 of the Charter may immediately take the oath of office and take such preliminary actions as may be necessary for initial organization, personnel actions, and budget adoption, in such special meetings as may be called under G.S. 160A‑71.
SECTION 14.2.  The Department of Justice shall be responsible for submitting any information required by G.S. 120‑30.9F for preclearance under the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
SECTION 14.3.  Section 14 of this act removes the territory within the corporate limits of the Town of Butner from the Butner Police and Fire Protection District provided by Section 1 of Chapter 830 of the 1983 Session Laws, as amended. Since this act will become effective after July 1, 2007, with respect to taxes on property located within the corporate limits, for taxes levied for the 2007‑2008 fiscal year, if the incorporation becomes effective, Granville County shall remit to the Town of Butner rather than to the State General Fund the taxes collected for that district on properties located within the corporate limits. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if Granville County does not bill the Butner Police and Fire Protection District tax for fiscal year 2007‑2008 on properties located within the proposed corporate limits until either the incorporation is either precleared or rejected under Section 5, those taxes are released or refunded if the incorporation is precleared, or shall be billed if the incorporation is rejected.
SECTION 15.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 19th day of July, 2007.
