A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to provide clarification that members of the State Ports Authority may be domiciled in the district of the North Carolina House of Representatives or the North Carolina Senate in which a State port is located.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. G.S. 136‑260(a) reads as rewritten:
"(a) The North Carolina State Ports Authority is
hereby created within the Department of Transportation and shall be subject to
and under the direct supervision of the Secretary of Transportation. It shall
be governed by a board composed of nine members and hereby designated as the
Authority. Effective July 1, 1983, it shall be governed by a board composed of
11 members and hereby designated as the Authority. The General Assembly suggests
and recommends that no person be appointed to the Authority who is domiciled in
the district of the North Carolina House of Representatives or the North
Carolina Senate in which a State port is located. Members of the North
Carolina Board of Transportation may be appointed to the Authority. The
Governor shall appoint seven members to the Authority, and the General Assembly
shall appoint two members of the Authority. Effective July 1, 1983, the
Authority shall consist of seven persons appointed by the Governor, and four
persons appointed by the General Assembly. Effective July 1, 2011, the Governor
shall appoint six members to the Authority, in addition to the Secretary of
Transportation, who shall serve as a voting member of the Authority by virtue of
his office. The Secretary of Transportation shall fill the first vacancy
occurring after July 1, 2011, in a position on the Authority over which the
Governor has appointive power."
SECTION 2. This act is effective when it becomes law.
