A SENATE RESOLUTION to amend the procedure for nominating and electing members of the board of governors of the university of north carolina.

Be it resolved by the Senate:

SECTION 1. Section 1.I.2. of Senate Resolution 46, 2013 Regular Session of the General Assembly, reads as rewritten:

"2. The Senate Committee shall receive suggestions of proposed candidates for nomination for election to the Board of Governors of The University of North Carolina from Monday, February 18, 2013, through Friday, ~~February 22, 2013.~~March 1, 2013. In 2013, the total number of positions available for election by the Senate is eight, and each position is for a four‑year term. A Senator may propose candidates for nomination only for the openings available for election by the Senate. In order for a person to have standing to be considered as a candidate for nomination by the Senate Committee, that person must be formally nominated as a candidate by a member of the Senate. Only a written nomination on a form provided by the Chair of the Senate Committee for that purpose and received in the Office of the Senate Principal Clerk on or after Monday, February 18, 2013, and no later than 5:00 P.M. on Friday, ~~February 22, 2013,~~March 1, 2013, shall constitute a formal nomination of a candidate. Delivery to the Office of the Senate Principal Clerk of a nomination form by facsimile transmission or e‑mail transmission shall not constitute a formal nomination of a candidate. An individual is not eligible for nomination in the Senate if he or she was nominated and not elected to the Board of Governors by the House of Representatives during the 2013 Session."

SECTION 2. Section 1.I.3. of Senate Resolution 46, 2013 Regular Session of the General Assembly, reads as rewritten:

"3. Notwithstanding G.S. 138A‑22, every person who has been formally nominated shall file a completed North Carolina State Ethics Commission 2013 Long Form Statement of Economic Interest with the North Carolina State Ethics Commission to be received by the North Carolina State Ethics Commission no later than 5:00 P.M. on Friday, ~~February 22, 2013.~~March 1, 2013. Submission of a Statement of Economic Interest 2013 No Change Form shall not constitute a complete submission for a formal nomination of a candidate. The 2013 Long Form Statement of Economic Interest must clearly state that the person is a candidate who has been nominated for the Board of Governors of The University of North Carolina."

SECTION 3. Section 1.I.4. of Senate Resolution 46, 2013 Regular Session of the General Assembly, reads as rewritten:

"4. On or after ~~February 23, 2013,~~March 4, 2013, the Senate Committee shall list all proposed candidates for nomination. The Senate Committee shall screen the proposed candidates for nomination as to their qualifications and background and may interview each one to make sure that suitable persons are nominated. The Senate Committee shall ascertain that each candidate for nomination is willing and able to serve and has no statutory disability. On completion of the screening process, the Senate Committee shall conduct a vote to ensure that the slate of legally qualified candidates lists no more than twice the number of candidates for the total seats open."

SECTION 4. This resolution is effective upon adoption.
