The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. Chapter 31 of the 1991 Session Laws is repealed. That act authorized the City of Greensboro to levy, in addition to up to five dollars ($5.00) per year for general purposes, an additional motor vehicle tax of up to five dollars ($5.00) per year for local public transportation purposes.
SECTION 2.(a) G.S. 20‑97(b) reads as rewritten:
"(b) General Municipal Vehicle Tax. – Cities and
towns may levy a tax of not more than five dollars ($5.00) sixteen
dollars ($16.00) per year upon any vehicle resident in the city or town.
The proceeds of the tax up to five dollars ($5.00) may be used for any
lawful purpose. The proceeds of these taxes derived from any levy above five
dollars ($5.00) and up to sixteen dollars ($16.00) shall be used exclusively
for local public transportation purposes."
SECTION 2.(b) This section applies to the City of Greensboro only.
SECTION 3. Section 1 of this act is effective upon the date the City of Greensboro acts to levy a tax under Section 2 of this act.
SECTION 4. This act is effective when it becomes law. This act does not affect the rights or liabilities of the State, a taxpayer, or another person arising under a statute amended or repealed by this act before the effective date of its amendment or repeal; nor does it affect the right to any refund or credit of a tax that accrued under the amended or repealed statute before the effective date of its amendment or repeal.
