A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT TO ENABLE THE TRANSITION OF PROPERTIES OF THE AREA ALONG THEIR COMMON BOUNDARY BETWEEN ALAMANCE COUNTY AND GUILFORD COUNTY by requiring a survey of the boundary line between the counties.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

SECTION 1. The county commissioners of Alamance County and Guilford County shall request that the North Carolina Geodetic Survey (hereinafter "NCGS") perform a preliminary resurvey and present a proposed map for consideration by both counties, as the exact location of the surveyed boundary line between the two counties has become uncertain, resulting in unintentional modifications to the boundary line affecting taxation, school attendance, zoning maps, and elections.

SECTION 2. The General Assembly recognizes the difficulties in addressing these issues and authorizes Alamance County and Guilford County to maintain the current taxing, elections, education, and any other recognized government functions in place until July 1, 2014.

SECTION 3. Alamance County and Guilford County shall cause areas of the boundary line to be resurveyed in areas where property owners have met the established administrative criteria to be assigned to a specific county and in areas where for practical or other reasons the North Carolina Geodetic Survey line is not reasonable or is unduly burdensome.

SECTION 4. Upon the conclusion of the survey and petition process established in Section 3 of this act and no later than May 15, 2014, Alamance County and Guilford County shall submit to the North Carolina General Assembly for ratification a completed survey that includes both the North Carolina Geodetic Survey line and all mutually agreed upon modifications thereto.

SECTION 5. This act is effective when it becomes law.
