Whereas, Albemarle Mental Health Center (AMHC), Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services, was a Local Management Entity and political subdivision of the State pursuant to G.S. 122C‑116 covering 10 counties; and
Whereas, AMHC was dissolved under Chapter 122C of the General Statutes effective July 1, 2010; and
Whereas, AMHC owned real property in Camden, Currituck, and Perquimans Counties; and
Whereas, the real property was to have been conveyed to East Carolina Behavioral Health (ECBH) upon dissolution of AMHC; and
Whereas, proper provision was not made for the conveyance in the winding up of AMHC; and
Whereas, the General Assembly desires to create a process by which this conveyance may occur; and
Whereas, the catchment area of AMHC was Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Hyde, Martin, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Tyrrell, and Washington Counties; Now, therefore,
